Default NOOB help... Super vs Wide

I have a sporty and am looking towards a Dyna. I think I like the Wide and the Super Glides. What is the main difference? How many CC's are these bikes(HD website does not have this in specs?)? Pros/Cons/Other differences?
sorry I have not searched the threads a lot, but thought I would ask.... if it has already been done then I expect you'll link me there.
Thanks in advance,

The main difference is that the Wideglide has more rake in the frame, a little in the trees and longer forks. Other than that mostly cosmetics. I believe the new Wideglide has the 103" engine and the Superglide has the 96".

I have a 2010 wide glide and love it so far. I'm a tall guy and thats the bike that fit me the best. I have no experience with Super Glides though. Best thing I did when I got my WG was go to the dealership and sit on/ride the different models. Its the only way to know what will work best for you.

Thanks. It is the rake that is calling my attention, that makes sense...
