Default 3 degree trees

has anyone changed over to the 3 degree trees on any of the dyna bobbers? if so what are the handling changes, if any ?
i've allready converted the front tire to a 16 ", now i'm thinking of changing to the 3 degree trees for two reason.
(1) add a slight rake to the front end which allways looks good,
(2) i have a 2" rizer on the stock bars now, but this will also allow me to use a 3" or 4" tall rizer on this 09 without changing the bars or wiring..

Some have used the 3° raked cups:

Can't remember who it was...search for it.

You can hold down the Alt key while typing 248 to get the ° sign.

I went with 5° on my FXD and a 19" wheel. The ride is incredible up to about 80 then the front end starts to move a little too much for me. I'm bought a superbrace that I'm installing today that I hope will help a little. The look of the FXD with more rake is much better than stock. I was at a bike show last Saturday and my little scoot got a lot of attention and compilments.
