You are correct, if you use fatbob trees there is no additional rake. The wide glide/fatbob trees are 1.5" wider than the mid glide trees you are replacing, so you will need 3/4" wheel spacers and a 3/4" spacer for your rotor. You will also need spacers for your fender. I just did that mod but decided to go with a 21" wheel instead of the stock 19" wheel so still have the rotor spacer if you need it.
