Lightbulb Wide glide front end on fxr frame
Hey guys I’m looking to do a first build and I wanted to build the Harley-Davidson and the Marlboro Man fxr

Oddly enough, I’ve got a wide glide front end on my ‘84, and am thinking I want to get rid of it. I don’t know much about front ends, but I’ll help if I can

The rake is in the frame neck not the forks. So if you don't want to either get the correct frame or cut and rake the neck, get raked trees.
