Differences between FL and FX Softail Front Ends?
Two questions: Is there a rake difference in the FL and FX front ends on a Softail? Also, How much longer are the fork tubes in the FX front end? Thank you in advance.
I can't anwer your questions, but I can say for sure that the fx softail front ends are wider than the fl front ends. The only reason I know that is because I put a fatboy front wheel on my night train and I assumed the spacers from a fatboy would work. No luck. I had a huge gap in there and had to get some custom spacers cut.
On Softails, the rake on both FL and FX bikes is 32 degrees. FL's have a 5.8" trail. FX's have a 5.0" trail. Here's a link to an article about rake and trail.
