Get a new mechanic. Get a parts manual and look up the frame part numbers. The pre-06 WG & LR have the same frame yet the WG has more rake. Ask him how that is possible.
Google it and see what that tells you.

I see you said low rider if you look at the lowrider and the wide glide frames they have the same rake 32 degress and if you look the fork angel is the same the diffeance there is in the wide over narrow forks the rake and trail are the same
put pics of both bikes stock side by side and you can see the rake and trail match

I give up. I guess that is why Harley has always marketed the Wide Glide as being raked out, but no other Dyna has ever been marketed as such.
I have tried to explain to you that the WG trees do have 2 degrees of rake, others have told you the same thing on here, but no worries, it's your bike and your money.

Call you dealer tomorrow and i am sure he will tell you harley does not have any raked trees. And I will do the same if I am wrong I will admit to it But I am sure That Halrey Davidson and all other motorcompanies would not get rake from the trees they would do it in the frame. But If I am wrong on my bike I will say so.

F*CK YOU ALL I called the dealer and there is NO rake in the trees. Do you hear that NO rake in the trees. To rake your bike in the trees is a **** way to chop the front end. You guy do understand that you can be wrong. Or are two differant dealerships wrong along with my indy.
