If you rake the front end you will have to worry about the ignition. The metal is thin there so they better do it right. The cut would go through the ignition section.
Also 40degree will have chopper flop. cool looking but not the best handling set up.
Dropping the front with rake is the back needs to be dropped equal amount. So it will be a rough ride.
Just some thoughts

I was hoping for enough rake that with whatever lenght front end I went with, the bike sat level, with the 13" shocks I think the bike will sit a bit higher than stock, ok by me as I like the ground clearance.
Chopper flop is what I'm trying to avoid, so hopefully I can run into a few modded WG's and see what they say.
Maybe find a middle ground here.
Probably most logical would be to add enough tube to make the bike sit level now and leave well enough alone.
Engine work for sure, maybe brakes next and then we'll see.
