Thanks for the responses. I guess what I'm seeing are mis-lableled ads.
Could it also be a "fake" springer? I have seen a couple of "custom" bikes where they threw springs on the front end to make it look cool but not function.

As an example, if you go to "cycle trader", enter 2002, type in Springer, and the the first up is a silver bike that looks like a wide glide. There are numerous bikes shown there that look like wide glides.
Your problem starts with ebay or cycle trader. What do they know, your the one who'd better know what your talking about. Beware of anything you read on there, educate yourself.

Could be that the staff of Cycle Trader are just screwing up and confusing you guys. Probably it!

I think he just see's a narrow front tire, like on a wide glide on some of the springers.
