Now I'm just confused. I was set to order the pro one 5* 41mm raked trees but I'm second guessing. It doesn't say that 5* means 5* over stock. The stock trees definetly have a rake in them from the factory on a FXST. Anyone have some insight? I have decided to go 5* over stock just want to make sure that is what I will recieve.

After much indecision I ordered the 3* fork bearing cup kit from Vulcanworks. The reviews of it are so mixed. I hope it wasn't a waste of money. The guy at Vulcan says the steering lock and the fork stops will still work but then I see a few guys saying that it doesn't. I thought I could install these and later add some 3* over stock (5*) trees but it looks like because the cups spread apart the raked trees won't line up properly. Any way guess I'll wait and see how it comes out. Any buddy riunning the cups with stock forks and trees. Thanks for putting up the pics. Keep them coming. There really needs to be a rake pic thread like the ape thread.

Neck is raked 40 degrees and Trees are 4 degrees 2 over on the forks. Rides like a stock bike no wobbles at high speeds. Perfect setup for a stock Harley frame.
