Default Looking Back

Hey,

Been a Harley rider all my life. Looking to find a 1981 FXE (my 1st). I have a few where I live but they are pretty rough. Not a problem with a restoration but I'd like to see a few bikes before I land on one. My FXE was stolen in an alley in Chicago. I don't have to tell this forum how that made me feel. Now it's time to get back my 1st. All info on this model would be appreciated.

The one I'm looking at now is an FXEF. Different front suspension and I don't know if it's convertible to my original FXE type. Any and all info is appreciated.
