Does anyone know what is the stock rake on a 1999 Night Train? Any rake in the triple trees?

Thanks in advance.

The 2000 thru 2009 Night Train had 2* in the trees. I'm not sure about 1999 though, as that was a special case... first year of the NT, and last year of the EVO motor. It should be easy enough to measure. Park the bike on a level surface with the wheel pointed straight ahead. With the bike in profile, center a long straight edge on the steering neck and another on the down tubes. Are they parallel? If yes, then no rake in the trees.

 

The 99 train was raked out to 34 degrees as I recall, after that Harley's reduced it to 32 for some reason.

 

I want to get a bolt on kit to rake my 08 Night train and I would welcome any suggestions on where I could find one reasonable that fits my bike.
so far the only thing I found was with American suspension and they only recommended a 3° rake and the custom kit was $2700 if I'm not mistaken.
Kinda pricey for only 3° when I see other kits for anywhere from $600 to $1500. With 6° to 14°

 

Old thread brought back to life. Vulcan Industries make a stem kit for this purpose and if you want a little custom tree Hawg Halters makes some really nice raked hidden top nut trees that I believe are in the 5-6 dollar range...

 

Knightdriver, I don't think you'd be happy with the way a radical raked tree would make your bike handle However, Arlen Ness makes 7° rake kits that sell for under $1000. Maybe check those out. Also consider the cost of quality (longer) down tubes and new seals, + the labor cost of installation if you can't do it yourself.

 

I had a 2003 Night Train with 4 degree trees from Hawg Halter and 2” over on the trees. It handled like stock…
