Default Raked out Street Bobs

Anyone got photos of raked out Street Bobs from something as normal as the 1.5 degree Wide Glide triple trees to rakes on the more extreme end of the spectrum, and everything in between? I'm looking for inspiration for my winter projects.

Thanks!

here is mine with wideglide trees and 3 degree offset cups from vulcan.

few things i don't like about it. it spreads the trees too much, don't like the look. lowers the front a lot, was ok because of lowered back.
It handles great, better than it did with just wideglide trees.
Not enough though, I have in bits now, getting neck chopped and raked to 35 degree and get rid of offset cups. stay tuned, probably late august

Dingo,
Is that the stock 19 inch wheel on the front?
So how much different was it with out the 3 degree cups?

no its the 21" x3.25 wide,
it is a noticeable difference to look at compared to without cups but i can't find a photo of before from the side.
it is more stable at higher speeds than before cups.

thanks stng 96

Dyna Rider...Man I'd like to know more about those trees you have there and if you think maybe I'd be better off with a 3 degree kit. Cups or no cups also and a suggested brand. Hawg Halters or accutronix. Thanks man, I'm about to make a move on this deal.

The front end looks awesome. The rake is perfect and the added distance between the upper and lower tree helps fill in the front end. Did you go with the 120 series tire, or is that a 90/ 21? I have the parts to do your exact upgrade here now and will post my own pics in the next few weeks.

YOUR RIDE LOOKS AWESOME.

Those bikes all look pretty sweet with some added rake. Dingo, that is sick.
