Default swapable?
has anyone used a 2021 softail classic frame with lowrider s front end? my lowrider s frame got bent and HD doesn't want to sell a replacement frame to me since there not doing the work. I have a buddy that has a frame that he would sell me cheap since the motor is blown and he doesn't want to deal with it anymore. from what I can tell my lowrider has a 28 degree rake and the classic has a 30 degree rake but that is the only difference.

you can do the swap, you may need to find out the correct bearing foe the next to accept the pivot, but other than that, you rake would more like the breakout than the S or St.
