Rake question
2011 SG with a 21" wheel, stock fender. I want to rake it just for the sake of looks because it handles great. I do not want to cut the neck, looking for bolt in trees. What should I buy??

Look at bagger nation, paul yaffe, or perse, they both have built in rake in their trees. Do the math for trail, you might need to go longer on the tubes as well. depends on what you're looking for talk to somebody about the pros and cons. I raked my deuce 6* lengthened the tubes 3", and then lowered the height 1.5" and it came out quite nice, handled very well and still kicked the ft wheel out, with out wheel wobble

Math?? Math you say??? I'm hoping someone will chime in with a pic of a raked (tree only) SG with a parts list. I just want the most rake I can get without cutting the neck and still handle well, as I do several long trips every year. I have ZERO knowledge about rake except if its not done right, you are in trouble! Any more help would be greatly appreciated!!
