So I'm looking into raking out my Heritage, and decided to check out what the Motor Company is doing. The Heritage sits at 31°. The touring models are 26°, and so are both trike models. That's exactly the opposite of what EVERYBODY says about trikes.

 

The devil is in the details,Emory.

 

Wheelbase figures into the handling too and the trikes are a little longer. Also the spec sheet measurement is for the frame, not the tree. The trees have a rake of their own adding to the overall rake of the front end. I THINK the Triglide has about 4 degrees more in the tree than the Ultra. They don't give you enough specs on the Harley site to really determine the overall rake of the front end on any of their bikes.

 

I think the Ultra and the Triglide have the same rake. The trail is not the same to allow the trike to handle better than it would using the Trail the Ultra has.
