Used Kewl Metal's 40 deg rake kit
No cutting the frame and it keeps the stock rake and trail.
Rides no different than when it was stock other than the turn radius is bigger due to the bike being a foot longer.
My doubting friends couldn't believe it would handle the same until they rode it.

Mis-matched wheels
Nice looking wheels. One thing I noticed, some get the matching rear wheel and some don't. I'm on the fence if I want to shell out $2k for a matching rear wheel setup that you can't really see with the bags on. My other alternative is to just have the stock rear wheel powder coated gloss black so that it justs blends in with the rest of the bike. Also I have the rear of my bike lowered 1 inch so all you really see of the rear wheel is the outter polished lip. If I do extended bags then the rear wheel will be even more un-noticable. I guess it's more of a personal preference and if you have the $$ to spend on a matching rear wheel setup?
