And the kit will look like an afterthought when you bolt it on. Just my opinion, but I don't like the look when the fork tubes are not parallel to the frame neck, and the bottom tree is way bigger than the top tree. If you gotta have it raked, bite the bullet and have the frame cut. The get a set of mildly raked trees (3 degrees) to bring your trail back towards normal. It'll look balanced, and handle very well.
Bad idea to just add raked trees; trail will drop into the speed wobble/tank slapper zone.

Does anyone know how to add some rake to your front end? I want to add about 5 degrees to my front end. I have an 08 fatboy, and like the pro-street look and I hate seeing people that have the same bike. I already have it painted with a new intake/exhaust. Pics to follow.

You can find adjustable trees with a search, but I have no clue who makes these:
