pics of my wide glide front end

I like the WG look, but it sure looks like your wheel is shoved way over to the left in the pic, is your spacing right?

[wabiker]

I was wondering that too...

[Phelan]

I agree...Or maybe the front end is cocked to side a lil' bit?

That's what I thought at first too, but if you look at the trees they look straight and the tire looks straight, but shifted over relative to the down tubes. Might be an illusion though, or maybe it's all the acid I ate back in the '60s....:laugh

Yes the spacing is correct just the angle i took the pic at
when i showed it to my mate he said the same,so i checked the messurments either side:)

Looks like the wheel is more to the left than anything, rubbing the leftside fender.

Seeing how your missing the rotor, rotor spacer and caliper in that pic, it looks un-finished to me, but great pic anyhow.

Yes not finished yet as the disc spacer had to be machined to fit my wheel

Cool beans Dude, glad all's well, it's gonna look great! :)

I like it, keep up the good work. A lot of people say the WG front end doesn't go well with the sporty, but i think the look can be pulled off very easily, although i have seen bikes where it looks totally wrong, your bike is one where it looks good.

Looks good, I like the wide glide look. What kind of front wheel are you running?

[renpia]

Looks good. Is that the stock rake and fork tube lengths? Looks longer than stock. How bout a side pic?

Ithink the wide glide look is a huge improvement over the narrow. i'd even say that you should use stock harley parts for the conversion. That billet business just doesn't get it for me. Who can tell me how hard it is to switch out the stem on a stock wide glide tree so it'll fit in a sporty neck?
