Default 01 fxstd rake help

Can I or what degree triple tree rake can I put on and still keep a safe rake and trail? I have to replace forks because of a low speed crash (prev owner) . Figured I would upgrade and try hard for a chopper look even though I know I can't get THAT far out. Bike already is lowered as far down as it can go. Any suggestions or thoughts please

It depends entirely on your specific bike. You would have to measure it to be able to tell. There is no way we would know. You could go over tubes and it would be okay. I have four over on my kraftech softail with 30 degree rake

You probably don't want to got to overboard with raked trees. If you really want a raked out look you can either have it chopped by a professional bike builder or get a bolt on kit by Seager or AME
