Default raked triple trees

Im thinking about getting new triple trees for my 05 duece and was thinking with going with raked trees. Anyone done that here pros and cons i had heard without modifiing the frames neck the most you could go is 3 degrees. If anyone has this post a pic trying to see how this would look plus handle. thanks everyone

Hey Stang,I went with the Pro-One 5 degree Trees with the integrated signals on my Deuce. I made no modifications to the frame what-so-ever. As far as handling,I didn't notice a tremendous amount of difference. Some yes but nothing drastic. I have a few pics I can email you if you wanna shoot me your email addy.

I have 3* cups with 3* trees on my '06 Nightran Handling stayed about the same, a little quicker MAYBE. Also added 2" over tubes. Had it up to 95mph passing a truck this weekend and it felt fine.
