Yeah slammed looks badass but I don't want to give up anymore lean angle. I drag parts as it is so lowering it would just make it worse.

 

So far I have only drug my pegs. I have the kuryakin switch blade iso pegs. I only drag them when I have the heel rest down.

 

I got a Street Bob with the Wide Glide triple tree and the tree have 0". The rake comes from the neck not from the tree that was the only reason why I bought the wide glide tree in order to have still a good trail value on my Bob with the 23" front wheel

 

WG trees are raked. They are either 2° or 3° depending on the year they came from. If they weren't raked then the bikes would come from the factory with bad trail numbers. Either way you have safe trail numbers using a 23" front wheel in your application. At 2° of rake in the trees you are running 4.18 which is really good. At 0° rake you would be running 5.49 which is still acceptable. If you were using the stock front rim and tire with WG trees you would have horrible trail numbers. Your saving grace is your 23" rim.

Edit: Actually since I don't know for a fact that all WG trees are raked I should retract that statement. 2010+ WG trees are raked. Maybe you got a different year that wasn't.

 

Well my triple trees are from a 2007 WG coz I needed a kit with the 1" axle. I'm pretty sure that these trees are not raked. on 80mph I can still just hold my ape hanger with just only one hand and I don't have any kinds of wobbling or something similar. Driving or taking curves (we have tons of hills and curves here in the mountain of Castellon / Valencia) I keep sticking to their butts of my Biker friends (most of them driving sportsters) without any issues.
I'm riding my Bike really hard in corners(lots of shredding with my footboards..hehehe)...

But it could be possible that the newer WG probably have rake on their trees + neck.

Probably not. Sportbikes often have trail under 4".
And bikes with a lot more trail can handle well and aren't hard to ride either. It just takes a slightly different riding style... more of a "countersteering" input to initiate and hold a turn at higher speeds. It's slightly more work, but is easy once you learn it.

 

Hey if it handles good for you who am I to argue.

Apples and Oranges.

 

How so, and how much trail should a tomato have?

 

That is a damn good question. I don't know.
