Don’t know if this will help, but I wanted To push front wheel out a little on my 2001 Fatboy, but not far enough that required longer tubes or cutting neck. I went with Covington 3 degree raked trees. Here’s a couple pics of softail comparing before and after and of my bike. I don’t have any good side pics with wheel pointing straight forward, but these are the best I have to give you an idea. First ride after install, I thought front end might feel a little looser, but after that, front end felt normal to me. I do a lot of highway riding - speeds between 75 - 85mph. Bike is solid. Short runs up to 100+ or so - bike still feels solid. I’ve had the trees on my bike for probably 7 years or so - honestly don’t remember.
You sound like you probably want more rake than what I have. I did a google image search and found several examples with 9+ degree rakes and much longer tubes.
I remember seeing that bike in Hotbike. Nice look! And your bike looks great! Forgot they made those trees.
Thanks again for all the replies and pictures, great lookin scooters!! I spoke with Seeger yesterday and looks like the 4 degree triple trees come with just a small extra bit of extra fork extension, nothing drastic. I will keep all updated as I get her done.
Ride safe!!
