Default Rake and Trail

Hey Guys,

I'm new to the forum as I just bought an '05 Deuce. It has a bunch of aftermarket parts on it but in particular I'm interested in the changed out trees. The guy who had it originally said that there are now 5 degree trees on the stock frame. I know that changing the rake and trail effects the handling and that you have to be careful about the configurations but I don't know what good numbers are. Can someone tell me if these 5 degree trees are an OK mod to the stock deuce? I appreciate any input.

Rick
