Does anyone know if the frame and steering head is the same for a 2007 bob or wide glide???
Do they get the rake difference at the trees???
And how much wider are the trees on a 07 wide glide versus a 07 St Bob????
Be nice to have a wide glide front end on a bob if all you have to do is change the (2) trees.....
After all fatter is always better.....well except in WOMEN.....LOL

3 Deg in the neck and 2 deg in the trees

 

So what kinda difference would it make changing to the wideglide trees?

 

SB's have 4.7" of trail. Ideal range, from what I've readis 4-6". If you add 2 degrees of rake, you'll reduce your trail. I used an online calculator when I was condsidering doing the same project and came up with 3.5" of trail.

A little less than ideal, but probably not unsafe. The bike will be easier to handle at slow speeds, and tight turns. But at higher speeds may feel a little less stable.

Here's a good link:

It seems like a least two or three forum members have installed a Wide Glide front end on their Super Glide / Street Bobs, try a search and see what you get, or try this link. It will show you Wide Glide triple trees, stock length fork tubes and a 21 inch front wheel.
on a green 06 Low Rider.

Good luck with it.

BUt will it look cool? LOL I mean its that or a chopper kit I can't stand it looking so short much longer

 

If you want a little length without changings triple trees you can just use the WG upper tubes and springs,makes a good bit of visual difference without much change in handling.

Good Luck

06 / 07 Wide Glide steering head is 34*, and has 2* triple clamps. All other 06 / 07 Dyna'sare 29*, and 0* triple clamps, except the Low Rider whichhas a1 1/2* triple clamp.

06/07 Wide glide is 1 1/2" wider then the other 06 / 07 Dyna's

You will also have to get a wider hub or find a 06 / 07 21" Wide Glide wheel / tire set up on eBay.

 

I see a lot of late model Dyna folks using WG trees. How do they compare to Softail trees? Same width, but what about rake? Are they a direct swap like the WG trees?
Thanks

 

No softail trees on new dyna's. 06+ have 49mm tubes, not sure what softails are but arent 49mm. Probably 41mm so I would say no to direct swap. WG swap is cheap (relatively speaking)and easy.
