Default 7 degrees of rake on flhx with a 21

I have a 2008 FLHX lowered1 inch all around and am thinking of using Paul Yaffes triple tree 7 degrees of rake. Anyone have ideas or thoughts? I'm going to add a chin spoiler to make up some of the free area.

Thanks for any information!

You do not need to rake for a 21".

I talked to a customer about this yesterday. It was not you as they have a 14, but my response was the same as above. Why rake when it is not necessary. Raking is done when necessary. Some people just like the look, but for me I threw on my 21" without raking and it rides great.

If you're going to rake the frame get a bigger wheel. A 21" wouldn't look good kicked out that far. Just my thoughts.
