Default raked trees

Where's the best place to get raked triple trees. Some time ago I found a good place but lost track of it.

Here's another one.

I have not used this but I had found it a while back and thought about it. then I saw a bike with that set up and something just didnt look right to me.

They claim the ride stays the same, but like I says, I have no personal experience with it. I was just doing the research for it and changed my mind.

AME Chopper Kit, chopper kits, 9 deg., 14 deg., and 18 deg. rake, bolt on chopper kits.

There's another prime example of something I would want to run a rake and trail calculator on. With mine they were already on a raked chopper frame.

Hi Mag

Do you now run a sickle with a "raked" neck.?
If not and you only want to get that "raked" look by doin it with the raked Trees, I would advise against it..

Many years ago I put 3* raked trees on a Stock 30* frame neck and felt lucky just to get back to the garage to get them off..

Raked trees are useful for waaay raked necks to reduce the trail that raked necks make more of..

Hey, don't take my word for it,, go here and read about what I found out in real time.. You'll find waaay more aritcles giving the same Info if you do a search..

RB Racing Rake and Trail Calculator

BTW-- for your info..
There are old-style De-raked trees,, Zero raked trees and Raked trees.. I've run them all.. I personally like the Old-style "trees" cuz I like More trail,, it's more stable at High-Speed..

Have a ball
