it`s dangerous to ride with negative trail, the best way is return all to stock conditions

if it rides like **** change it if not leave it alone....people will tell you its bad to lower your rear end and leave the front alone like my dyna but it handles just as well as a stock bike....a bunch of worry warts...

Hahaha 07bobber..^^
You're right, only the road deliver you the true sensation of what is really good for you.. All rakes modifications are transforming the behavior and handling, it is true that after the high-speed ride is prohibited but we do not HD ..?
Even if I have a memory of a dangerous combination with 6° raked trees and 2' longer tubes that were in my fork!
Change the fork oil to obtain a higher hardness is also important ..
