Height difference between Fxdb and fxdls
does anyone know the difference between the Fxdb and lrs forks/triple trees (besides the obvious wheels/dual brakes), specifically the height difference?
I posted a thread with the apes I installed from my old street bob, but for some reason with the same apes and same height risers, my hands are much higher when riding. On my street bob, they were just under shoulder height, however on the lrs my hands are about an inch or two higher than my shoulders. I thought the front ends were identical in size/height but apparently I was wrong.
It sucks too cause theyre just high enough for my hands to start to go numb when riding, and it doesn't take long. I'm actually thinking of ordering 14s and doin all this **** all over again. Now I just want to know what the difference is.

No, I swapped the lrs risers out for ones that were the same size as the street bob. I thought I mentioned that but I must not have. Sorry lol it's Monday morning.

Not walking into that trap. I just wouldn't do it. I hate apes

lol it's not a trap I was just curious. It's really not that big a deal cause it's my bike and I like em but whatever, different strokes right? I'm the opposite, I love apes and hate t bars.
