Just finished the Wide Glide conversion and am posting up a few pics.
Here's a list of the parts I used:
Cass County Choppers polished 3 degree wide triple trees
Wide Glide laced 21" front wheel - used
Harley front axle 40923-06
Harley chrome WG sliders 46589-06B
Harley chrome axle spacers 41410-06
(4) 3/4" chrome spacers for fender
(4) 5/16" x 1 1/2" allen head chrome bolts and nuts for fender
I was not impressed with Cass County Choppers at all. They must be the "Earl Scheib" of custom motorcycle shops. First, they were late shipping the trees. They said they would press the stem in the lower tree before shipping, then didn't do it. The most prevalent issue, the trees did not fit. The stem was too long. When assembled, the adjustment nut would bottom out on the threads before it contacted and seated the bearings in the races. And lastly, the fork stops do not allow for use of the fork lock.
I e-mailed them about the trees not fitting correctly and was told I was doing something wrong. I called to speak with them and was told I they would call me right back. I never did get a call. I e-mailed back and forth with them, basically being told I didn't know what I was doing each time. A quote from their final e-mail before I politely told them to kiss my ass (and this was cut and pasted from the e-mail), "Use a spacer then. The frame you have must not be to the specs of a2006-2009 Dyna." Never once did they offer to replace the trees or give me a stem of correct length.
Outside of all the BS with them, I am extremely happy with the look of the wider, raked front end.
Feedback is welcome.
