Check out AME chopper kits. Just do a search and their site will come up. I think the exact address is something original like amechopperkits.com. Not sure though. They claim their kits don't change handling. I am not sure if they have one for a bagger though.

Traditional method - cut and rake frame - this one is 8 degrees.

RE: Raked Road king
check out www.projectbikes.org Abear's Road King has been raked looks great. I emailed him regarding his bike. He says it handles great at high speed with no wobble 100mph. Low speed turning is more like a fatboy. I have never rode a fat boy so I don't know what that like. I was thinking of trying a set of raked bearing cups. What do you think about that? I am going to try the other site and see if they make kits for Road Kings.

I would love to rake my King too. I have rode a Fatboy and a Heritage, they are great at speed but dont turn as quick at low speed.

long as you keep your rake and trail in the proper range you wont have any problem, your headlight is gonna point up in the air a little if you dont make a spacer to tilt it back down. Let me know if I can help.
