I do Not remember any ride Difference... FX vs FL... The FL may steer a bit Heavy/Slow, but I much prefer the FX for My particular Riding Style..

I am Having a very hard time surmising what you have there.
Was it me... I would obtain a Stock tree and front end set-up, unless you have access to a Full 39mm [Dyna Type] front end. Said to be superior... But, I have rode both, and I do Not find a Measurable Difference.
The "Wide Glide" on the other hand... feels Heavy and Slow to me... They generally Look Cool Tho...

YMMV

bob just take pictures of what you have in its entirety when / and as you take it apart to re grease the neck bearings you talked about - with the pictures it will re assemble the same way, as it is now as I do not believe you will find what you have in any book
