neck rake question
Can anybody tell the neck on a 2008 street bob and the rack on a dyna wide glide? I want to put a wide glide with a 21 front wheel on my street bob.

This topic has been covered here many times. SB is about 29* and WGs are about 34*. Search and you will find exact numbers. To sum it up WGs have more +3* more frame rake than other dynas, and another +2* in the triple trees. You can go wide without changing the rake by using fatbob trees. Fatbob trees have the same rake as Streetbobs but are the same width as a wideglide. If you use wide glide trees it will lower the front about 3/4 to 1". You will hardly notice the change in rake.
Be advised if you decide to go with WG or FB trees your brake caliper will need to be shimmed. WGs, FBs and Streetbobs do not have the same lower fork sliders, the brake caliper mounts on the WG position the brake caliper further inside the wheels. All the exact details including spacer sizes are posted in this forum somewhere.

Unfortunately some of the info above is slightly incorrect.
Dyna frames except WG after 06 are 28 degrees, the WG is 34 in the frame, with 2 in the trees. Pre-06 WG and Lo-riders were 32 in the frame with the WG having 2 in the trees.
If you do the WG front end on yours you will want to also get the fork tubes as the extra 2 degrees of rake needs 2" over tubes to stay at the same level, unless you want to lower your bike about an inch in front.
