Or they recognize that there's nothing beneficial to a negative trail. At least apes serve a purpose (rider comfort). But even those can get out of control safety wise which brings us back to the territory of the proverbial making up for a lack of something like this front end does.

It handles a little heavy at slow parking lot speeds...solid as a rock riding. Just takes getting used to in a parking lot

I wanted to keep it level especially since I run Shotgun shocks and ride the back lowered. That length seemed to be right for me

I wanted long and low and that's what I got

Actually, the rake and trail were kept correct so there is no issue with handling except at slow parking lot speeds. My **** is over 8 inches so I'm not making up for a lack of anything. You don't like the front end? Don't put one on your bike.

From what i was told it's neutral. I don't know a number but the company that built the kit had an engineer figure the numbers. It's not really hard at slow speeds to steer, all that metal is heavy. If you're really interested check out the page where the kit comes from: http://www.chopperkitusa.com/ He has some info there


Nah, no ABS on mine

Post your math...it is wrong. Raking the frame takes the trail in one direction...raking the trees takes it the other.

This kit has an adapter that effectively rakes the frame, then raked trees bring the trail back to manageable...slow steering in parking lots is because of the length.

The steering neck in that picture doesn't look like it lines up with the triple trees. The red line there is drawn off the trees...but not off the neck. I don't know what they did or did not do to right it, but just going off what I see. It looks to me that it is the stock rake with an added rake triple tree...which would absolutely put you into negative trail.

Here's what I see in the image. Now bear in mind the bike is at an angle where the front wheel is lower on the pavement and that could skew things.
