Default Rake on 2006 FXSTS

Is it possible to increase the rake angle on a Springer? Ok, so I know anything is pretty much possible if you have $$$$ but I was curious as to the degree of difficulty on this type of bike as opposed to other models. Is it done very often?

Thanks!

The short answer is no.

To change the front end rake, you would need to purchase a raked springer front end (aftermarket, not cheap), or cut and re-weld the neck of the frame, and then purchase an overlength front-end to accomodate for the change in rake.
