RE: 3 degree neck rake bearings
There is a thread in softail section called wheel wobble, right now it is on 2nd page. I'd read up on it if you are unfamiliar with front end terms and meanings, especially post that gives other threads on file. Be careful when changing rake w/o paying attention to trail. I believe anything over 4-5 " (idealis in 2-4" range)trail and you have problems, especially low speed handling.

Gramps... he's talking about the degree of rake not the amount of extension on the front end tubes.... additional degrees of rake will lower the front end with minimal extension of the existing front end... I didn't know that they had such bearings... interesting, very interesting... I might be a candidate for this on my FXSTI. 3deg is probably less than 1" forward doing some quick math.

Here's a previous thread where they were talking about the raked cups. DeuceDude did it and he had some pretty good results. It's on my list, where I don't know.
