Default 1983 fxd
I recently purchased this bike, 1983 FXD according to the title. Could someone please tell me what the factory neck rake is? The frame has not been altered at all. TY

Can you recheck what bike you have? 1983 and FXD does not go together. If 1983 is correct than FXE, FXSB or FXR may be more in line. Then again the year may need rechecking. Is it a Shovelhead motor?

Yup, the old "Disc Glide". Extremely popular model, always sold out. Check this thread https://www.hdforums.com/forum/shove...sh-thread.html

BTW 83 and 84 are great years for Shovelheads.
