Anyone added rake a Bob?

Thinkin of doin it but want to get a idea of how much the front end will lower.

 

I'm interested in this too....
I'd like to bring the front out more...

So Do you just buy a new set of Forks right ?

Would'nt trowing a set of Wide Glide forks bring it out 5-6 inches ?

 

Not the forks change the trees.

 

Most articles that I have read frown on adding rake to a dyna by changing to a raked set of triple trees.
If you are talking about adding rake by using a cup set - this seems acceptable and of course will lower the front a bit.
Try one of the online rake/trail calculators. If you have already lowered the rear - then you are probably OK from a trail standpoint, but you will certainly scrape sooner as you have reduced the ground clearance.

5 or 6 inches ??????????????????

if you just change the fork tubes from SG to WG, you will get the following:

1) more ground clearance
2) a bit slower stearing response
3) a slight increase in overall length.
4) a bike that leans over a bit more on the jiffy stand.

 

Storz Performance makes excellent products.
I have not read through the catalog in a while but l;ast time I did, they do not recommend raked trees on a dyna.

 

3 degree is safe and you gonna spend at least 500 on just trees

 

Here's two photos,one withzero degree triple clamps, and two degree Wide Glide triple clamps installed on a Low Rider. The Low Rider also hasa 21" wheel that brings the axle height up about a 1/2". Three degree triple clamps will drop the front a little lower, and 1/2"lower with your original 19" wheel.[/align][/align][/align]

hey formula, what year are those wide glide triple trees on that low rider?

 

2006, part numbers and all other info you can find here: https://www.hdforums.com/m_814521/tm.htm

 

I think I read somewhere that for each degree of rake you lose .2 inches. I know that you don't want to go anymore than 3 degrees of rake in the tree on a stock frame. Bad news in the trail then.
