Default decreasing rake on a Deuce

My wife rides a 02 Deuce and has a little trouble making tight corners and curves because of the rake on the bike, she used to ride my 00 Fatboy and really loved the way it rode and handled for her, but she loves her purple Deuce and doent want to get rid it, any suggestions to lessen the rake on a stock deuce....

That would ruin the concept. Have her try a little more counter steer. It took me a few runs through the mountains of West Virginia, but I got 'R now !!!!!!!!!

I didn't know there was that much difference between the two bikes.

We have 2 Heritages, a Wide Glide and a Deuce. No problems. Has she taken some good training classes?
