Raked trees ... Pros/ Cons
Don't raked trees cause a "flop" over ... To me the geometry doesn't work out ?????
AND ... what's the ratio of "drop" when you rake .. 3* will lower how much ...6* how much .. etc.

 

Raked trees are absolutely necessary on bikes that have more rake in the frame neck than stock. For example, on a frame with 40 degrees on frame neck, you would definitely need 5 or 6 degree trees.

Using raked trees on a stock frame (30 degrees) is generally not a good idea...but 3 degree trees seems to be ok. Factory wide glide trees have 3 degrees built into the trees.
