Default Crossbones rake kit

I remember a thread a while back with a guy who had installed a rake kit on his crossbones. Just wanted to see if there was any follow up on it

yeah roger.....want to hear more on it now that he has had it. Also, want to see for sure which kit he went with. The title is 4.5 degree rake kit, but it lists the 7 degree as being the kit for the Crossbones

1 other thing to think about if you rake it. I didnt think about it BUT...i need a 1 inch longer kickstand. She leans REAL hard now after kicking it out. Im gonna go with a 200 rear now and 17in from 16in rear tire. hope that helps out the kickstand lean a bit.

Remember too that the bike will sit lower with a rake kit, so doing that may lead to other small and unplanned modifications.
