Default 49mm Wide Glide - Who makes 'em?

Standard Wide Glide forks are 41mm. On the new Dyna's the forks are 49mm on mid glide trees. Does anyone make wide glide trees for the 49mm forks that'll fit a FXST(B)?

I think they would look good on Softail's or Dyna's.

I wish that were true. I've got a 2007 and they have the 41mm.

The beefier 49mm really looks good. I just wish someone made the trees for them.

Those inverted front ends are nice. Really gives it a beefy look.

I purchased a set of fork tubes HD PN # 46617-06. They are 49 mm and they are for a 06-08 FXD/FXDWG (06-FXDWG). HERE HERE is an aftermarket companys who is advertising the wrong measurement of 27.5” but the correct numbers are Stock 27.913"/709mm that I measured ; 46617-06. You may work backwards and call your local HD shop and ask what bike these fit. This is the correct # as I bought them from HD and I measured them..


There are several of our members who purchased wide Glide Forks & put them on their Dyna HERE


BTW Accutronix makes the WG trees

I believe Accutronix makes 49mm triple trees. Check their website. I think it is www.accutronix.com

I think if you want to retro fit your Night Train? you would also need a front axle, bearings, distance collar, axle spacers, and front fender in addition to the triple tree's. I have been told (and don't know this to be fact) the 49mm front end will bolt on to 41mm equipped Dyna, you will however loose your steering lock function.
