I am wondering if anyone would know for sure if the trees on the FXST (2000-2006) are raked by 3 degrees?? I have read HD specs and all softails have a rake angle of 32 degrees through the neck but do not mention the trees.
Meant to get on this awhile back, but got sidetracked. Sorry.
I remember reading something about at least one model of HD that had raked trees, but don't remember which one. However, if you point your wheel straight ahead, then stand off to the side, and look at the neck & fork tubes by the neck, you'll be able to tell if the trees are raked.
