Default adding rake to rkc

Anyone add any rake to front of your touring bikes.Im thinking that 4 degrees or so will sablize front end more and maybe help woth high speed wobble that has a ridge in seat from my *** sucking it up at 120 when the back end starts trying to come around the front end or so it fells like.Im going to try few other things first then add rake and see how it handles.
If you have or know some who has done so let me know.If think Im nuts for cutting new frame the lines long climb in back.

I did it on an 01 EGC. went from stock 28 at the neck to 34.
Can't tell you how it rides as the oil pump failed after rebuild.
Maybe next month I will have time and wram enough weather to
fix the pump
