Default +13 degree +8" tubes chopperkit

Has anyone tried this +13 degree rake, +8" tubes chopperkit on a sporty?
It's amazing....gained 17" on wheelbase, much bigger looking bike, a little heavy at very slow speeds, but going fast on curves is unbelievable!!!!
I've had it on the bike for the last 10000 miles, and it aims like a bullet.

Stock trail dimensions....that's the beauty of this specific kit. Tried 7 degree raked triple trees before, completely messed up the bike's maths...bike started shaking like crazy after 70 mph
