New member here, sold my 04 Train and considering a used Rocker C in vivid black and creating a "Rocker Train" i.e. blacking it out and putting on a Heartland EZ rocker kit. I also want to put an inverted black front end on and remember reading in the Cycle World road test that the Rocker has 34 degrees of rake in the neck and another 2.5 in the trees.

Does anyone know the "real" frame and tree (if any) rake of the Rocker. I have read and heard everything from 34 to 38. If it has 2.5 in the trees, I will get 3 degree trees on the new fork.

 

I dont beleive there is any rake on the trees, I might mistaken but pretty sure. The neck rake is 38 degrees.. Im replacing my front end with an inverted one also..

 

i thought the stock rake on the rocker was 37 degrees.

 

Technically I beleive its 37.5, round up or down...

 

From Harleys specs: 36 rake and 6.20 trail.

 

Thanks for the replies, The HD website does call out the "steering rake" at 36 degrees with 6.2" of trail. Here's what I am thinking, HD revamped the FXDWG for the 07 model year, amongst other things they "raked" the new 49mm front end with a 34 neck and raked trees. I think this was the precursor for the FXCW front end geometry.

If there are no raked trees, I can't see how you can get 6.2" of trail with that steep a neck angle?

 

i hate math !!!
