Dyna Wide Glide (FXDWGI) review
New chassis + new six-speed transmission + extended fork rake = the longest Wide Glide to roll out of Milwaukee
Not tested
The Wide Glide takes the laid-back chopper profile to its street-legal limit. Longer than ever, it now has new chunky 49mm forks raked out to 36 degrees and a massive 21" laced front wheel. The bobtail rear fender has been neatly sculpted around the larger 160-section rear hoop, while the rider can slide into a new stepped chopper-style seat. All of the wiring from the switchgear is fed through the new ape-hanger bars for a cleaner look.
