Default Rake plus model question.

I've taken a fancy to the newer wide glides, love the bob rear fender and rake of the front forks. I believe it's 34* , but older models don't appear to have the same rake. Am I wrong? And the other day I found a 2000 fxst I believe and it looked more raked out then other older models. Curious where I can find info about the rake of older models or all models. The moco web site only goes back a couple years and I have been snooping around on TMW without much luck on older mods, just curious if there is quick list of bikes that have the same rake as newer W.D.?
Thanks

Definitely variations over the year for the WG. I don't know about the Softails.

The WG rake is a combination of frame and trees and they've changed a couple times over the years.

I'm not sure where to find the data.
