Question Go figure!

Ok, i did lots of changes this year on the bike and one was to rake my front end. Now, i'ved went on rbracing to calculate the rake and trail that would fit my Dyna but even with my OEM spec in the calculator i don't come close to the 5.2" trail that suppose to be stock on it!

I've pushed the raking with a triple tree offset 3dg and added 4" on the tubes, looks nice, but end up being a bit to high in front for my taste as you can see on the pic below

As anyone did any modif like this on a 2012 FXDWG ???
I really feel it will be weird on the road with my setup and not sure if the trail will be OK and safe .... hopefully it should lol

You're drinking the wrong beer, that is the problem! Joking aside you'll probably get more hits and help if you post in the Dyna section.
