Here's a picture of the bike, the springer and the last picture shows how far the rake is on the head bolt. By reading around people mention that late springers have a negative rake, but I don't know if that means they changed the angle of the headstock or what. Should have paid attention in geometry class. Maybe all springers have this to account for the front wheel being on the rockers? Thanks.

That is a Newer springer [newest] so I don't know much about them..
Can't believe much changed tho...except the DirtBike lookin front fender on the older one...
The Youngest wanted to "try it out" I didn't want him to...Must admit. it didn't hurt nothin and may in fact handle a bit better at lower speeds.
I haven't rode it at higher speeds...but I'm confident he has...and he aint busted his ***!!!!
I think you may like it alot.
Just hard for me to get used to "new" and Springer...together.
