I've got the AME 14 degree rake with 8 over 39 mm tubes...

Like OFG says...

Just in case anyone is interested in the set I have, they are listed on eBay right now.

14 degrees seems to be the way. The web site I saw was ~1500 bucks, is there a cheaper way? group buy maybe =)

How much more are the 41 tubes and the 4 piston caliper. that seems like a nice set up you two have with the 14's.

I think the 14 with a mini 12 ape would be a nice combo for comfortable bars and a great look. what rear shocks are you guys running with those forks?

I am thinking of raising the rear a 1/2 inch or inch with some shocks, aftermarket or RK, for two up and to smooth it out a little.

wonder if it would affect the handling of the front end if I replaced the rears?

Here's my '02 1200. I'm almost certain they are 13 degrees.
