Looks like that one would fit. Probably not as aesthetically nice as Roland Sands, but probably easier on the wallet.

Check again because the wide glide was the brace they offered before they came out with the one for street bobs.

Everything I've read, even from them on their site is that this is for the soft tail wide glide front ends. Which is kind of annoying to just refer to it as a "wide glide fork brace" if it doesn't even fit what I would assume most people think of when they hear wide glide. Maybe I'm mistaken there.

A wide glide is a wide glide be it on a Dyna or a Softail. This may be shocking but the Fat Bob also utilizes a wide glide front end, just shortened to accommodate the narrow rake.

Sorry but the Dyna Wide Glide uses standard 49mm Dyna forks but with Wideglide spread. Unfortunately, we do not make a fork brace to fit your bike. Sorry!

Our new Dyna fork brace is in production for 2013. The Narrowgilde and Wideglide braces will not fit your Fat Bob

If they're mistaken, I'd love to know but I'm not dropping a couple hundred bucks on anything that "might" work or someone online says it should work when the company themselves say it won't

I use a SuperBrace on my FB, and I notice in their catalog that the 2008-2014 49mm FXDWG + FXDF use the same part #5194, whereas the RSD brace catalog is somewhat vague. Maybe there's something about the RSD design that restricts it from being compatible on both bikes?

from everything I've found, they just don't make one for a DYNA "wide glide" front end, they make them for the other families with "wide glide" forks and they make them for the other dynas besides WG and fat bob. Kinda lame
