In 1980 Harley Davidson developed a new touring motorcycle.Unlike its older brother the FLH, the FLT had some new features.Aside from the rubber mounted motor and 5 speed transmission they developed a new front end.The tubes were set about 21/2 “behind the neck.Along with this there was a 41/4 degree rake added to the tree set. Years after its introduction it is still used on most of the touring models today.In the mid 1990,s we developed a line of replacement tree sets for these motorcycles.Receiving calls from trike and side car manufacturers needing this style of trees with more rake. Increasing the the rake helped improve the ease of steering these vehicles .[For rake and trail information see our technical page].We manufacture this tree set in additional 31/4 and 53/4 degree rakes,covering all the years from 1980 to present.
