Default Raked trees or not

I'm tossing around the idea of some aftermarket trees, ether 0 degree or 3 degree. Would like some input from those who have went with the 3 degree rake, and what kind of handling difference it made, and was it worth it, or would you go back to 0 degree,was internal or external fork stops used and what trees did you get? If anyone changed there trees and stayed with 0 degree rake, are you happy about it and what trees did you get?Also I'm going to put these on a 06 FXSTI, and what looking I've done, I've yet to find any with the notch cut in the stem for thefork lock except for the ones in the H/D chrome book, but those are said to reduce the rake by 1.5 degrees.

Default RE: Raked trees or not

I put 3* Pro One black trees one my Train. Love them! Went with internal stops. I don't have the steering lock anymore, but if someone wants my ride, they'll take it no matter. You can always machine the new stem so the lock will still operate.
