Default HELP... springer front end for my FXD




Hey fellas, looking for a little help... Im looking to put a springer front end on my 2003 Dyna FXD and since Im not exactly technically inclined I was hoping some one could make a recomendation on size and degree. My priority is the ride as I do tend to do med to long distance trips and style (the look) is secondary. Im a self aware man and science and math werenever my strong suite,I know that there is a formula for "Rake and Trail" but I have no idea how it works so Imdepending on the rest of you guys to make up for my lack of knowledge. Anyway now that Ive been long winded hope to get some help...THANKS BILL [align=right][/align]
