Default 2010+ wide glide rake makeup

This probably been covered 6 mollion times but,...

is the total rake of a 2010+ wide glide completely in the neck or is it a mix of neck and trees?

here's why I'm asking. Will, from ODC, posted this on instagram:

I told him that if i was happy with the set he's sending for my sporty, I'd try the new wide monza on my wide glide if the made a version for wide glides. He responded that there was 0 rake in the trees. Now, ignoring the +2 fork length of the wide glide dslider assemblies, does this seem right?


i dont mind trying them aftee the fork length is addressed but, the rake is my concern.

any info helps

Not sure if it changed but my 08-ish (old 49mm pinch bolt style) trees are about 2 degrees.

I dont think so. I think they werennt aware of the difference for whatever reason. I sent him a message about it. We'll see what he says.

I'd email Howard Messner or Mike (multihdrdr) if you need accurate numbers.

If needed, I can measure mine with my digital angle finder but I can't guarantee .1 degree accuracy with my shop setup.

it wasn't so much a numbers thing as much as it was a "wtf" thing because what he said didnt jive with the little build-it-bob guy in the back of my mind. Basically, "hold on, that aint right ".
