Default Raked Triple Trees for 23" Wheel

Which triple trees are the best for running a 23" wheel on a 2016 Road Glide? From what I see, most rake out the front end an extra 6 or 7 degrees. But who makes the best quality set of trees out there?

That's where I was looking... Spoke with them on the phone for a bit yesterday and they are really cool.


What kind of suspension are you running up front on your scoot? I was hoping to run the Legend Axeo kit with the bump stops (or traveler limiters as they call them) but the Legend kit won't work like that. So, I'm not sure what to do up front...

Progressive lowering kit, if I remember correctly the HHI trees also came with travel limiters for the tubes. You could also look into doing front air.
