No to accomplish keeping of O.E. trail numbers.. a Shovelhead [for instance] minus three trees and backwards 3 degree cups [If you have replaceable cups] accomplishes nothing but bringing wheel back..
Note... Offset [3 degree, is Common] cups is a frame rake/de-rake..
So Remembering that Trees result in the Opposite result on trail, than Neck... Deraked trees is same result as Raking frame... far as Trail Numbers [the only thing that really counts] are Concerned..
Now... I'm wondering what Frame we are Utilizing????? May Not be able to run cups...Most Evo's cannot..
Therefor... minus 3 degree Trees is all you can hope for... which simply increases trail numbers.. good stability, but heavier Steering Effort..

What's so hard to understand here. More Rake decreases trail and less Rake increases trail.. What's the problem here??? Oh I get it your lost and are trying to find yourself... MARCO, POLO...

Them dam engineers don’t know crap about frame geometry. Just get 9ut a hack saw, and welder and go at it. Remember to make sure your insurance is up to date.
