Default Vulcan Engineering 3 Degree Cups

I've been reading some past threads about installing 3 degree cups to gain some rake. There was one rider that said he wanted a lower front end so he did nothing to his existing fork tubes.
I want to keep my Fatboy at the same height but increase the rake 3 degrees. For anyone who has done this swap, did you have to get longer fork tubes?

Default cups

I have the cups, but they lowered the front, maybe half inch to 3/4 inch, doesn't look noticeably lower. It's a lot of trouble for a subtle look and even more if you try to keep stock height. Handling seems fine still, u-turns are just slightly trickery.

Default 3 degree cups.....

Hey, thanks! Did you get the set that has the "fork stop lug", or the ones without?

Default cups

Mine was for an Evo softail -99 it did not have stops so I had to drill and make my own, I did a thread somewhere with a ton of photos try searching "Evo raked cups"
