Inverted forks available

MotorcycleMetal.com has an Inverted Front fork set-up available. I don't think it changes the rake/trail at all. Check out his website. My experience has been that Howard is great on customer support as well as offering top notch product. Good luck- it's a great modification for the Dyna. Jay

I didn't install mine, it came stock with the bike, as far as the rake I would think that would be determined by your frame neck and bearings (which you can get in an offset).

Dope, how would a bearing add or subtract rake? Isn't rake determined by the setup of the neck and any additional rake (or lack thereof) built into the trees?

There is an offset bearing (offset cup I think) out there, not actually sure, but I think it is 3 degrees, could not find a part number for you, but they were mentioned on another forum, and the OP there was thinking they were stock items on the v-rod.
