Just for info: All HD's with floorboards are FL models. Foot pegs are FX or in the case of sportsters XL. Of coarse everything changes with V-rods.

No disrespect, but...

I thought the FL and FX, designations refer to the front end?

Although, indirectly...you may be correct about the boards.

Wide Glide is an FX. Narrow front tire, no?

The rake of the front end is wide but the fork tubes themselves are narrow like on a super glide, deuce or softail standard for example.

You are dead on refers to the front end. Search google for harley abbreviations and you will see all kinds of info on this.

X is Naked narrow and wideglide forks
L is the Fatter forks with larger headlights
Springers are listed as an FX--S

Some springers are FL's. The Heritage Softail Springer for example because of the 16" fat front tire.
