Default Rake on 2018 Softails
I know the total numbers for the three different steering head angles for the new softails, but does anyone know the breakdown of the frame VS the front end for the different models? I've looked pretty hard but can't find anything.

Thanks!

maybe the Compare Tool on the HD site? you can pick different bikes and it lists all the specs they provide side by side..just a thought

Per the HD site from the SPECS section, the rake on the Heritage and the Fatboy is 30 degrees. Is that the info you requested?

No, I see the total rake info, I want to know the breakdown of what's in the frame and what's in the triple tree of the different models.
