Are the pictures of your Night Train with the 3 degree cups ? and did you use the stock Fork Tube Length.

Thank You

I run the Vulcan raked cups on my 2007 FXST. Started with 4 over fork tubes and now have installed 6 but am yet to ride it in that configuration. With the 4 over trail was dead on and it handled really well.

Again, this thread is over 15years old, but Mr Lucky was active in December 2025 so
you might get a response...

Here is an example of what the neck will look like with the racked cups. I don't care for the looks...




good luck,

T.
