i have a 23" front wheel and an 18" rear wheel for my 1998 night train. i also have 5 degree raked trees. (i haven't installed the trees or wheels yet)
i'm trying to figure out how far to lower the front and rear. any info would be appreciated. thanks

 

99 was the first year

 

they were released in europe only in 98. i couldnt figure out why i couldnt find parts for a 98 until my brother started questioning the low miles. i ran a carfax report and saw that it came to the US in 2000 and went through customs and was then approved for use on US highways. see attachment

 

When we lowered my buddies fat boy last week we put on the adjustable rear extensions then got the rear to look right with the fender. Then did some measuring to get the backbone to be at the stock angle. Used progressives kit with cuttable spacers up front. Were within 1/4 inch the first time. No idea on the 5 degree bearing rake though. 2 rear and 2.75 get I think total drop

 

I have a 21 up front and 18 in back. I dropped my rear end 1 inch and it looks perfect to me.

 

Don't fool yourself, 1972 was the debut year for the "Night Train"

 

We talking about the fxstb

 

I stand corrected Matt. Thanks. One more year of them is even better. G.
