Default RE: front end

My issue is with you and your ignorance of said subject. Not only was your uninformed argument wrong, you were condescending in it's delivery to me.

And as far as your little concession spiel to WS6 about being wrong goes, you had to preface it with some drivel/trivia aboutsome earlier models (pre-06) in an attempt to save some face, earlier models that never even came up I might add. I couldn't be happier thatyou've made it soclear we are cut from two entirely different cloths.

To the rest of you, I apologize for taking the bait!

for some reason my pc is being a byatch an i cant open that link to read the info and with all the arguing im a bit confused but what i think im understanding is that the degree angle of the kneck on the frame is different on the wideglide then the other dyna models? as well as the front fork assembley that produces the longer rake overall?.....................so would the conclusion be that you can gain alil more rake by using a wideglide front but will not gain the same degree of rake do to the difference in the frame? jus tryn to cut the crap an get a straight laced final judgement call..

The 06 and up Dyna's have a 29 degree rake in the frame, except the Wide Glide which has 34 degrees. Also all the 06 and up Dyna's have 0 degree rake in the triple clamps, except the Low Rider has 1 1/2 degrees and the Wide Glide has 2 degrees in the triple clamps.Regarding whatyou wrote above, your right on.
