Why don't you PM rayny104

 

THe shocks on the FXDXT look like Works Trackers--maybe 14" inch. I have 13.5" Works Black Trackers on mine.

Good luck finding them, though. Works went out of business (as the story goes when the old man passed away and then the company was in litigation with family or something but may have reemerged but it's hard to say if they're really/fully operating or not).

 

Question to those who have gone to 13.5 or 14 inch shocks. By going to longer shocks the swingarm goes below horizontal and the drive belt is loosened. what do you set the belt adjustment at? The stock setting would be to tight I think as the shocks compress the swingarm moves up and the belt tightens. Since the shocks are longer would the belt go to tight? Many of you have done this so I know an answer is out there, I just don't know it Thanks for any help.

 

 

Adjust it when the Trans Mainshaft, Swingarm Pivot point, and Rear Axle are all in line ... that's the tightest point

 

Okay, so while the SATD FXDX is down, I've been riding a ducati monster.
Although nowhere near as comfy as my dyna, the 260lb weight difference has been lovely.

So, let's talk weight reduction.
What have you done?
(Keeping budget in mind, I can't afford graphite wheels)
I've already swiss-cheesed a bunch of stuff and personally lost 25lbs. Really.
But I have questions on things like
- plastic fenders: the front is easy, but can I make a rear one work that I can leave on for 2up?
- aluminum swingarms: can't afford a proper one, but could I modify a jap one? Anyone know which one might fit?
- pro-taper bars: are they worth it? which model? do they taper down to 1" or 7/8"?
- frame mods: doesn't seem like there's much there to modify.

I wasn't able to find anything specific in the forums, but please feel free to direct me to any threads.

Please and thanks.

 

 

Wow, that different huh?
The specs do say just under 100lbs lighter.

 

Thanks for the replys guys, have a better understanding now.
