Default Springer Wide Glide

Looking at springer front ends for my 06 wide glide. Love the american suspension version but there are a couple choices out there... I also want to get the Z bars or regular apes. Dont know what ones and if i should wait until after I change my forks... Does anyone have suggestions and pictures? I know there are some here on the forum its just hard to find a lot of older wide glides...

Do yourself a favor and get a Spit Fire Girder....They look wayyyyy better than any springer ever could and ride great too.

Convert a wide glide front end to springer is like taking the solid disc wheels off a fatboy.
Go for it and rename your Wide glide.

Here's the Paughco on a Dyna. I feel the best choice, but thats just my opinion:





Here's a DNA on my Low Rider. I think DNA is crap, but they are cheap. I would use one again in a pinch, but if I could afford better, I would not choose DNA. Also, the DNA requires EXTENSIVE reworking to get it to fit. The Paughco is a direct bolt on.:






This is the closest picture I have to Z-Bars. I eventually choose apes, but personal preference is all yours.

Thanks Oldman. Thats a Midwest King Spoke I got from Jireh. Chrome Fat Boy wheel on the back. Waiting to see if they come out for the 2000 up models, so I can get a set for my Fat Boy.
