What bike do you have? I have a Street Bob with the Fat Bob trees. This winter after my deployment I'm going with a 23" wheel and would like for it to be out just a little bit further and may switch to Wide Glide trees.

I have a 2012 WG. I was thinking about the FB trees. Would look like a SB with WG trees if I am correct.

I also am going 23" on the front of mine. I just want a bit less rake.

Your WG has a few degrees rake in the frame vs a SB, so it will still have a little more even when you change the trees. Check out this WG with FB trees: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/dyna-...bob-trees.html

Yeah i know the WG has rake in the frame. I like the way that WG looks. Since mine is slammed i feel like it will have a custom SB look.
