My bike is a super glide.
I am not aware of ANY trees on a production Dyna having rake built into them. Of course there is a rake built into the stearing head angle of the frame neck. Is that what your referring to?

I know nothing about Rake...

How do I know what I want ?

I know I want to bring the front wheel out more giving more of a chopper bobber look.

So how much will it stretch out the front tire, how many inchese with a 3% or 5% ?

Yes, raked trees will do what you want to do.
So will lowering the rear and increasing the diameter of the front wheel and so will lengthening the forks.
BUT, here is a must read article thatwill expalain everythingto anyone who has an interest in this subject. Mike the Chromer

Mike, now you can say you're aware.

LowRider trees 1.5 degree rake
WideGlide 2 degrees in the trees.

WideGlide neck is 34 degrees
All other dynas 29 in the neck.

These figures are for 06-07.
Not sure for other years.
(edit above to -figures are for 06.)
