    What's this stance?

    Trying to do a similar stance for a sportster I'm building, would love some help to see what stance this is.

          Hey, this is like another one one of those 'Guess The Bike Part Contests!'

          The OP provided some great photos for the contestants, but, the original clue provided may have stumped them, resulting in a bit of a delayed response...
          It appears there have have been great guesses from a couple of brave contestants, but, the OP is keeping the actual answer a secret...(hhmmm,,,it appears the first contestant, FF, may have actually made two guesses...is that even allowed?) Who will have the correct answer? How will the judging panel confirm the 'best' or correct answer? No prizes have been announced, (but a nickel bet has been placed on the table to tempt others to join in) ...also, no time limit has been provided... when will it end??... we wait in anticipation...stay tuned!! Come on down! You can be the next contestant...on... 'Guess That Bike Part'!
          If buildin' old school choppers was easy, anyone could do it... ain't nobody said it's gonna be easy...

                "So what do you think it is????"

                Alright, I will accept your challenge...

                Let's provide a summary of where we are so far; the OP provided this clue:

                34 degree rake, 8 over springer, 4 up, 0 out?

                and the two (3?) guesses are:

                2 up, no out, ,40 degree , 8 0ver. and

                Maybe 38 and 6 over. (from FF, who is out on a limb...)

                and; No rake and 4 up (with a nickel bet from Ttooo...)

                I need to take into consideration that the front of the frame is up slightly...let me tip my laptop a bit to level that out... research stock frame specs ( a bit challenging due to variations over the years), use my protractor to try get a bit of an an angle measurement (I should have blown it up on a print-out and scaled it to 1:12 for more accuracy - that could have also helped me with frame and fork length measurements)... okay...my guess is... uummm...aaahhh... time is ticking... that nickel bet is really adding pressure... starting to edge out on that limb with FF... okay,okay... it's...oh,this is tough...okay,...hey Ttooo is no rake even an answer?...okay, I'm gonna guess...38* rake, no out, 2"up, with a +6 over springer.
                '

                    I guess I should clarify.. If stock rake is 32 that's what I'm basing my guess on.... I don't think the neck has been messed with. But if it has been I would say no more than 2 degrees... I'm saying 4 over front end... The more I look at it I'm thinking more like 2" stretch...

                          Update: through some internet digging, I found out who did the fab work and asked them about the dimensions.
                          They got back to me and said:

                          "the frame was a santee, I just added a window to it. It has a 35 regree rake with 7 3/4" over springer I made all stainless. Not sure how many inches up the frame is, I think 4. And prolly 1 inch out."



                          Thanks for playing, gentlemen!

                            I don't believe it.... This is why...{I think 4. And prolly 1 inch out.} He should know.... It doesn't look like what he said...
