Default Fork Measurement Please
Anyone got a complete circa 2008 FXST that could please let me know the distance from the bottom of the lower triple tree to the axle centreline. Trying to determine how much over a front end is.

Usually the measurement is made from the top of the cap for the slider tube to the axle center and should be 32" Stock..
