You can do like WS6 Formula and re-use your 49 mm tubes and sliders. You will need to go with FXDWG wheels and spacers, which allow you to re-use your original brake caliper and rotor, as well. At a minimum you will need to either get the hub from a Wide Glide or you can get spacers from Custom Cycle Engineering or maybe another source.

The FXDWG fork tubes are a little longer due to the increased fork angle ... if you want to go with over-length front end for the chopper effect, it'll give you about another +2 inches.

Damn I like that Pearl Green!

 

Used the stock tubes and sliders. Yes the caliper still runs line up with the rotor, have a sligt ofset front wheel, but iŽll fix that with a spacer (7mm) between the disc and hub. And ofcourse a 7mm shorter distance on the right side.

 

Dam, I really like the look of that wg front. i appreciate all the info you all are throwing out there. Looks like I have yet another project for this winter. Dam, I am going to busy!!!!
Great looking ride by the way

 

Your bike's transformation over the summer has been amazing. I liked it before, but it's really a show-stopper now. Are you still planning to go with the Z-bars?

 

Thanx! Sure thing, a friend from the forum just mailed them to me from the states...2 weeks maybe....

I post pix as soon the bars are in place
