been looking on here for some pics of fatbobs with stock wide glide triple trees with the fatbob forks. all i seem to find is guys running 5 degree rakes.. thats more rake than i want. if anybody has a pic to post thatd be great

im working on putting a 21in wheel on front but im worried that its not going to look right with no rake

also i hated the look of the fatbobs huge front tire but it was so cheap i decided to buy it

also i posted a add in the classifieds trade section for wide glide 49mm trees if anybody wanted to check that thread out feel free!

 

Stock WG trees on the 49mm forks are raked...I think its 3 degrees.

 

Also keep in mind that the WG has slightly longer tubes. When you rake out your fat bob, the front end will drop. You might need to lower the rear to even it out.

 

perfect then i dont have to get a lowering kit for the front end. but with the 21 front wheel it probably wont lower it that much??

 

I would use a tire size calculator and see how much the size difference is. You may not have to lower it at all.

 

The Fat Bob has exact same rake as Street Bob. So find a pic of a Street Bob with 21" front wheel (in sig) to see what your Fat Bob will look like with 21" front. I have Fat Bob trees too.

Also, you are only going to gain 2 degrees of rake with Wide Glide trees. The rest of the Wide Glide rake is in the Wide Glide's neck.
