    On to a dyna wide glide 2010 up yes !
    Done it to mine !
    Bolts straight on no adjustments needed, got the hub from HD wheels in the states

    the hub was made for the FXDF for blokes who wanted to put

    spoke rims on the Fat Bobs

    If doing it go a wider rim and tyre aswell the original

    Wideglide tyre does not put enough meat on the road for

    the extra stopping power

    you will also need the fatbob master cylinder !

    Im only talking about the wide glide, it was reintroduced
    to the line up in 2010 with 49mm fork tubes. I was not
    sure what model OP was really talking about !

    The FWDF and the FXDWG 2010 up you could say, have
    the same front ends, except for the twin disk on the FXDF,
    All front end parts are interchangable between the 2 models,
    But im not sure if the tube length are the same, and the
    Degrees of the trees. But i think the Wide glide has more
    Degrees in the trees !

    As for the other FXD models i dont know !

    If i was to do it again aiming for the same outcome, i would
    buy FXDF, put the wide glide trees and tubes on it, if they are
    different, and a 21inch front wheel, think you would save a
    few bucks that way, plus get the fatter look of the FXDF tank
    and the FXDF rear fender, but thats personal choice !

    I have a 120/90-21 metz on a 3.5 rim, handles and rides
    100% better than the original front wide glide tyre !
