    gday guys. looking at changing the front end of the wide glide due to the polished alloy look being fairly pitted and ugly.

    ive been looking at the inverted chrome jobbys like the picture, but cant seem to find if there model specific or weather they will sort of fit everything?

    and advice would really be appreciated cheers

    so why not clean them up with wet and dry and a good polish an afternoons work they come up better than new and you got heaps of cash in ya pocket
    for other bits

    As Tatts said...There is a thread in here somewhere with a few pic's and they came up a treat...But there is nothing like new mod's,makes ya feel warm and fuzzy....

    thanks for the input guys but I do prefer the full chrome look over the polished look

    any pic's, thinking of doing the same, i have 3deg and standard length but would like to see what 5deg and 2in overs look like.

    the only thing to look at is 1in neck and single or twin disc's and 3/4 axle, also who ever you get them from have a look at what their standard length is. when i was looking some would have the dyna length as std but some would have the softail as std (that way dyna's are 2in unders). also i think the rocker and the wide glide are the same length.the best way is to go by measurments (in inches) and then order that length. one thing i have learnt is DONT BUY CHEAP

    If it's a standard wideglide frint end amd you wish to get rid of it to recoup a few dollars, I may be in the market.
