Default Frame Changes In 2009

I read a lot about the frame change Harley made in 2009. Does anyone know where to find frame only photo's of the old vs new style frame?

google:

2009 model year technical forum .pdf

you will see the new frame.

or google:

harley touring 2009 frame

and click on images



otherwise you can go to the online partsfinder and compare diagrams.

in terms of how it feels, it is day and night for rigidity and stability.

Default Frame Comparison

Heres a few pics showing the changes which simplified the manufacturing process and increased weight carrying capacity. Swingarm was redesigned as well.
