FLHR and FLHX Front End Differences

I found where Kewlmetalworks made a beautiful 45* rake kit for Street Glides. It is an entirely bolt-on kit. This got me to thinking about the 09 and 10 touring frames. What are the differences between the FLHP and the FLHX when it comes to front ends, excluding the fairing itself.

I would love to learn that the kit would be compatible with my lowly FLHP. If it is, in fact, compatible, then I have my next real money project lined up!

Oh yeah, here's a link to the kit: KewlMetal

Some one else will have to chime in but I think the frame, steering head and down tubes are all the same.

Have you asked the vendor of the product if it will work on you FLHP? Advice/information on HDF is great, but I always contact the vendor regarding fitment questions.

You're one of those folks who actually give a damn about what other people think and base all of your bike purchases and modifications accordingly. So, according to the other threads, you're a "Poser", right?

Just thought I should clarify that one.

--Couldn't give a sh*t less what others think about the bike, as long as it fits me,

It seems that I keep getting the wrong folks over there, but then again, it could be because I tried calling late on a Friday afternoon

I think I'll have better luck mid-day on next Tuesday or so.

Do you think I ought to try Arlen Ness, Inc? They are the ones that ordered the bike, and I am fairly certain they have intentions on copying/modifying the rake kit design.
