A mate is mine is wanting to put a wideglide front end on a 2004 super glide can any one tell me how me the difference in degrees in the frames between the superglide and wide glide!
Not 100% sure on earlier models but later model Wide Glides run a 34 degree rake, where the Superglide runs a 29 degree rake, and it is in the steering head. You can go 3 degree rake triple trees with no handling issues, but going more does bring up handling issues. Some say you can go 5 degrees as long as you lower the rear of the bike 1 inch to bring the trail back into the safe margin. The other point to remember is the more the rake on the forks the lower the front will sit. 3 degrees seems to be what most guys do and have no issues. You can buy kits that also have the disk spacer, guard mount spacers, longer front axle with spacers as well, that way you aren't fucking around trying to buy everything to match up.
Thanks fellas for the replys!
