Would like to see some pictures and do you think that a 23 would fit with the trees?

O.K, I do think the rake looks great, but really, the bike handles better? It is hard to believe that at slow speeds, high speeds even, this mod improves handling over what is arguably the best handling motorcycle, and certainly the best handling Harley.

I have seen a few at car & bike shows. My problem is that all I've seen cause the fairing and headlight to point up and this IMO looks really stupid! If someone would modify the mounts so the batwing stayed level it might be a cool look. Haven't seen any raked RG's (at least that I noticed they were raked) but at least with the frame mount fairing that part would look good. As far as function, I'm guessing that all the ones I have seen were pure show bikes so function and rideability weren't issues.
