Seems like I see more rake in the gooseneck of my FXST. I get a hankering to buy some Heritage tin and cow bells, a new front wheel and transform my FXST into a Deluxe/Heritage at some point. But I wonder if the frames are the same?

 

Softail frames are the same.. Only the stuff bolted to them changes.

Duece and Rocker are the exception...

 

Anything is possible with a FXST . I took mine and made it one of a kind , you can to

 

I have considered the same thing and everything I have read says just new tins, forks, wheel.

 

Thanks guys. I love the looks of my FXST -- my all-time favorite Harley -- but maybe some bags and etc. would make for a better touring bike for "the big one" I want to take someday soon...

I just have one question, if they are the same, how is it that the fxst has a different rake? I remember looking at all the specs for my 2002 FXST and it had more rake then any other softail, minus the Nightrain it had the same, at the time?

 

Trees are raked differently

 

So how hard would it be to put a FL-Style front end on an FX? I still think that someday I would like to add a fairing to my bike, but I can't find anybody that makes one for the Wide Front end.

 

Not hard at all, my bike was a 05 FXST standard at one time.
