pinch bolts fatbob
Getting ready to swap my midglide front end for a fatbob. Black glossy trees came from surdyke today. I forgot to order pinch bolts.
Does anyone know if I can i use the ones on my mid glide? I'm not home to check sizes.
Thanks,
George

The trees came pretty quick - like a week - but the axle is back ordered. They even gave me a 20$ gift card - jeez what costs 20$?
Anyway I'm in no hurry really - still have a driveway that's solid ice.
It started out that I just needed a front tire... and then I said what the heck.

Anyway just got back form tru-value - wanted to buy some allen head replacements for the pinch bolts. They had 3/8 X 16 X 1.50" I even think 1.25" would work - but they only stainless not grade 8 so i passed. I guess it makes a difference.

We are both doing the same conversion, but mine is an 09 Street Bob......I ordered the black FXDF trees from New Castle last night.......I ordered new pinch bolts too 
.......I do have to order the axle, sucks that its backordered, but I believe Vtwin manufacturing makes a duplicate. Ill post the part number when I find it. Do you know if the neck bearings and cups are the same between the mid glide and wide glide?
