I thought the rake on the Fat Bob and the Wide Glide are the same. Is it the width that's different with the trees?

How's the fit of those alloy art turn signals on the rear? I've heard mixed reviews.

Matt...the signals are lazer star. I wanted them to be as flush as possible. Since I have the quick detach hardware that makes the signals stand way out I drilled a hole in the strut cover and have them mounted that way. Easy install just jack the rear off the bike up and remove the shocks and there's plenty of room.
Hellbob...pirelli night dragons with a 90/90 front.
Ramu...trees are the same width but fat bob trees have no rake and wide glide trees have 2* in the trees

Hi looks great ! How did you fit into a wide glide the Arlen Ness bullet fairing? It's not suppose fit. Did you replace the headlight.
Thanks
