Default Rake kit

Hey all, since the Search feature isn't cooperating, I figured that I would ask here. Has anyone here had any experience with some of the triple tree rake kits that are available for our bikes? Not the ones that require cutting of the frame, but more of a "swapping parts" style kit...

I'm not sure about the "bolt on" kits, but send a message to Slothy, hes got a nasty raked FLHX, and could probably steer you in the right direction.

Thanks for the link! Have been considering possibly raking my bike in the future along with a 19" wheel.

personally ive never used the bolt on kit, the one guy that rides around here with one on a 26" says he cant go over 80 or its gets scary...

on mine (9 deg yaffe rake block/ 9 deg hhi trees w/ a 26" front) - i had it up to 120 on speedo and there was 0 wobble.

Mine is similiar to Slothy..............

HHI rake kit, HHI 9 degree trees and a 26" several 120mph blast and its very stable.

I have heard horror stories about the bolt on kits, get them up over the speed limit and your life is in your hands. I have never rode one, just going buy what others have said
