2003 FXD SuperWide - WideGlide Conversion w/21X3.5 FrontWheel

[@GixxerFoo]

That's a good looking bike! I really like that front wheel, it's a wider 21 and it looks awesome on there!

[@FreeSwimmer]

Thanks.. It took some serious thought to go big, like that. Im kinda ol' school and traditional.. Glad I did go big..

I have the same bike a want to convert to a wideglide, nice job man!

[@FreeSwimmer]

Very cool ! I got the complete, new, Accutronix conversion kit. Was perfect fit and high quality. I wasnt able to find a used WideGlide set at time. Also, I think the fork tubes wouldve been a pinch longer. I like my handling as is.

Thank you man, I'm getting mine on the road now finally, it's got 4000 original miles! Long story, but I'm looking into the wideglide conversion, I appreciate your tips and will let ya how I make out

Did you try fitting the 3.5 wide rim w/ 120/70/21 with the narrow glide front end? I just ordered that setup I’m hoping it fits with out changing the front end 😅

[@FreeSwimmer]

No.. I went straight to Accutronix WideGlide front end with the 3.5 upgrade. Dont know if everything will fit in between Narrow set up ?

Is there a spacer kit for the 3.50 wide rim , I have a 02 FXDWG & want to put the 21 x 3.50 rim on too, what did u have to do

[@FreeSwimmer]

I had bought numerous axel spacers to use as needed. With front lifted slightly off ground, I made sure brake caliper side was centered exact, and then letting forks hang spaced other side as needed. There is a space between the axel shoulder and fork tube. That is correct. When spaced correct, the fork tubes are smooth, up and down, without binding.

[@davidshih486]

@@FreeSwimmer what size are the spacers, if u don’t mind telling me

[@FreeSwimmer]

@@davidshih486 I would have to measure but I would suggest getting a bunch that offers many different sizes from 1 1/4 inch , 1 1/8 1 inch, 7/8inch, 3/4inch, 5/8inch,1/2inch, x 2 each size.. Then, when your front is off ground, you can pull axel and fit it..

[@joeborgia50]

So the front wheel isn't in the center of the forks then ? You have to offset it to the brake side .. just curious I bought a 23 x 3.5 for my Softail

What size is you rear wheel?

[@FreeSwimmer]

Hello George.. It is an 18" x 3.5" on rear. I wanted a bit more wheel, to fill up rear fenderwell.

[@georgerosado6344]

@@FreeSwimmer you can throw a 180 or 200 back there , it will fill the fender up nice .

How did you setup your Indicator lights

[@FreeSwimmer]

The gauge is still in a mounting cup that has the indicator lights across bottom, as your looking at speedo. Its still 1 cluster.. I just have the mounting cup with spacers and longer bolts, so I was able to remove the eyebrow, with narrowglide front end.. This video shows the new wideglide front end on it.. I did a video about headlight relocation and the speedo mounting is explained.. Yes, the chrome cup for speedo has slots below speedo face for indicator lights to fasten to it.
