Default Numbers vs extended forks

'98 FXDWG (EVO).

21" front rim with 90/90 tire = 27.38" diameter.
Rake steering neck: 32'
Triple Clamp offset: 2.4"
Triple tree rake: 0' (I think).
Fork length: 31"

Calculated Trail: 5.79"

Anyone with experience from a FXDWG EVO with extended forks (2"-6") and with no additional rake in the trees?

Like this one, wich I think has 6" over
