Default Fat Bob and Street Bob fork difference??

Beside the obvious, that the Fat bob forks are wider...

What's the difference between the Fat bob and the Street bob?

I know the Rake is the same at 29 degrees.

But what make the trail different? 4.92 for the fat bob, and 4.7 for the street bob?

reason I ask, I'd like to get a street bob that handles more like the fat bob.

Doesn't the fat bob have some rake in the trees as well?

The FXDB has 29*...
Rake (steering head) 29°
Fork Angle 29°
+0*

FXDF:
Rake (steering head) 29°
Fork Angle 28°
-1*

Probably the fact that -1* is in trees is where the trail differs on the FXDF. Trees are 0* on street bob.

I don't think so Vic, I think all the Dyna's except the WG are the same rake. But now I will have to go check....lol
