Default YAFFE 7 degree rake kit on a 2011 road glide

Would like to know if anyone has raked their 09-11 Road Glide. I am thinking about a 7 degree rake kit from Jaffe with a new 21" front wheel. Any information would be helpful such as ride changes, installation issues, pics. Thanks!

Thanks for the heads up, I thought I read with the 7 degree rake a 21 inch would work. I will call Jaffe to make sure, then would need to pick a kick butt front fender. I want to learn more before I head in this direction.

Yep, 7 degree for a 23" front wheel and 9 degree if you want to go with a 26" front wheel.

Had to look up FTW.

Question: What Is 'FTW'? What Does It Mean?
While participating in an online discussion forum about motorcycles, you see this weird expression "FTW". People post phrases like "slipper clutches, ftw!" and "full face helmets, ftw!". You see the same thing in an online gaming forum. The gamer participants are posting phrases like "polymorph, ftw!" and "druid hurricane, ftw!".

Answer: In 2010, the most common meaning of "FTW" is "for the win", an Internet expression of enthusiasiam.

local indy rakes 'em 10 degrees works with 21 or 23 he has a patent on a weld on kit that he sells that allows neck height adjustment . I don't know how much the kit is but he installs them for 1500. You may have seen the road king from his website in bagger mag a couple of months ago. http://www.getraked.com/ give him a call he has been raking them since 1999 he will be glad to tell you what works best and why

This is what I was going to say. My buddy has an '11 RG with a 21" front wheel and it looks great. He wants to get a rake kit to fit a 23" wheel, but you don't need it for a 21".
