Harley Springer 4.5 Deg Rake Kit
Has anyone used this Harley Springer 4.5 Deg Rake Kit? I have a crossbones and was thinking about getting it. I want to drop the front end a couple inches and I like the look that it would give.

I emailed the company and Joe Johns (Guy who replied) said that it would lower the front end 1-3/4". Just about what I need...
but i would still like to see some pictures before I purchase.

Wow! Thats a great idea. I have always thought the ONE thing wrong with the MOCO Springers is the De-Rake they put in them. Looks like you rear ended a bus. This is a cool product. Can't wait to see some one mount it up and give a review. The bike on their website looks just right.

I wonder how this effects the handling? Rake and Trail is a big part of the smoothnes of a bike..

I can't imagine it's much different from putting the lowering springs on. I used the springs and didn't like the lack of compression that was left. The front end will probably get a little heavier off the jiffy stand but I would think that's about it.On my winter redo list for the BB.She needs just a little more leg to sit right.

anyone gave this a try? just picked up a springer classic and am looking to lowering the front end also. is this rake the only method to lower a springer or is there another kit out there that does the same thing?
