2008 Nightrain rake

I know there are tons of threads with people wanting to add more rake to their nightrains. But what i am wondering is has anyone taken out the 3 degree rake in the trees on a nightrain? I love my nightrain but i wish it would actually turn, so what i am wondering is if you take the 3 degree rake out in the trees how would it handle. Has anyone done this?

What do you mean you wish it could turn? How tight of a radius do you need it to turn? Doing u-turns in a single lane?

No ****. I have no problem turning my Train. Even with my exhaust dragging. Lol.

I swapped out my stock trees for a set of 0* ProOne. Also dropped the bike 2" front and rear at the same time. Handles better than stock, but don't know if the rake change had anything to do with it. IIRC, the stock trees only have a 2* rake?
