Mid glides are, yes. The newer Customs also have them.

Seems to be more of a mid glide than a wide glide.

Correct. The Forty Eight and the new Customs have mid glides.

My Dad put the wider tree on a 883 for my mom several years back, put a bigger tank and extended fenders as well. Looked pretty good. unfortunately I don't have any pictures for you.
