Pretty sure the stock WG trees are 3* of rake. Mine's pretty damn stable.

Al,

As far as I know, the rake is in the frame. For 2003 models FXDL & FXDWG frames are 32 degrees; FXD/FXDX & FXDXT frames have 28 degrees...
Not shure about the rake numbers on 2001 frames.

Some time ago I noticed forum member sharkey owns a 2001 Dyna models parts catalog... I'd say: shoot him a PM and ask him to check it for you?
