so neal pm'd me yesterday & told me that his friend had 2 wide glide wheels. so i gave him a call & he txt me the pics. one was a dual flange the other a single. so i got a single flange HD Wide Glide wheel for $50.00 & its in good shape.
i'll probably do the swap in july once i get back from OK for some training that i have to go up there for. once i finish i will do a write up on it and post it up as a stick. the swap should be fairly simple just like swapping it out on the SS.

Go the wheel boxed up and ready to ship. First chance I have to get to the post office is Friday morning, like we spoke about. Will PM you once it's shipped with tracking #

What type of front end do those have? Is it the same width as an SS? Ive seen some VTX's but never paid attention to the front end.

i think its like 2in wider. i measured it once between the legs but i need a more acurate measurement from right there at the wheel holes.

So it must basically be a wide glide. Itll be a little easier to do a 21 swap then.

well a 21in swap is not hard anyways. i did my swap in 15 minutes. ole puddin head had my axle turned & got my spacers for me while i was deployed. when i came home on leave, i jacked up the front, pulled the old wheel off & slid the HD on. i didnt have to shim the brake caliper or anything. it was a perfect fit.

I wasnt saying it was hard but a little more width cant hurt. So how do the ladies like the new ride?
