Default Front end conversion help 1999 Dyna Low Rider

Hey everyone, kinda new to the forum, was just wondering if any of you can supply me with pics of your mid or wide glide conversions. I have google image searched with little to no luck... All the pics i see are from the side or 3/4 view. Im looking for pics straight on at the front of the bike of Low riders or similar bikes with 39mm tubes and preferably dual disk brakes.

Im not sure if the wide glide conversion would look to wide for my bike keeping the 39mm tubes or if should go mid glide. I feel like i dont gain much with the mid glide though.

Any advice, input or pics is very much appreciated. Thank you!

Wide glide with 39mm tubes looks... awkward.
Either get the mid glide or the whole front end.

That is exactly what i thought too about it looking awkward. I was leaning toward the mid glide the whole time but eveyone seems to go wide glide fronts or conversions from the forums ive been researching so I wasnt sure. Thank you for your input!

If you are going with a WG setup just go with the whole deal and 41 mm WG tubes. Complete front ends are not hard to find, in fact the 99 LR and WG frames are the same exact frame with 32 degree rake, so you would in essence be converting to an actual WG.

For most years until 06 the WG and LR were the same frames, all others models used a common frame.
