This is correct, the somewhat confusing element is HD has a specific model called the "Wide Glide" that has a wide glide front end (wide forks), but other HD models also have a wide glide front end; for the 2010 model year these are the Dyna Fat Bob and the Softail Custom. Previous model years having the wide glide front end include the Softail Standard and Softail Night Train. The wide glide front end was derived from the FL front end with the "tins" removed, back in the bobber/chopper era, so in fact any FL front end may be regarded as a wide glide also.

Cool, that clears things up for me.
