Gotcha. I thought you needed a whole weld-on neck kit to actually change the rake.

I'm glad everything has been explained. I didn't feel like going through the trouble.....that's why I posted a link to the kit, figured that would be easiest. Rode it about 225 miles today well over the speed limit. NO wobbles and solid as a rock.

Front and rear and side front and side rear would be great. Im looking for a breakout cvo 114 to modify. Miss my old screamin fxst 2001 twincam 88 hog with similar lines see pics. But id like to avoid the hassle to cut and reweld the frame steering head on my next bike.

It's not a chopper. It's a basically stock bike with a set of raked triple trees. and longer tubes. Raked trees weren't all that great in 70's and I don't image that has changed much.

I've noticed that when someone says that "you're making up for a lack of something" that tends to be them projecting...otherwise they wouldn't say anything if they weren't trying to direct the attention away from themselves....

That being said...not accusing you of having a small pecker man...but that statement sure makes it sound like you do...

Remember, the counter-accuse tactic doesn't work out well as we've seen...

That rig is dope man!!! Choppers have been and always will be cool, and what makes it even better is that it's a Harley chopper now, which gives you badass looks and reliability! I dig it!

I'm confused...people who dig ape hangers are the ones who don't have cupholders...

Did I miss something...

If you bought a Harley for performance, you were lied to my man... Don't get me wrong, I love my Breakout, but it handles like ****...my GSXR-600 blows it out of the water, in EVERY single way possible. I bought my Harley for looks, and that's it. Don't tell yourself Harley's are built for performance; you sound silly doing that...

A Ninja 250 can out perform ANY Harley in ANY curvy road...again...did I miss something...
