Front Rake
Just finished install of HHI Rake Kit on my Trike.. what a world of difference.. power steering to say the least.. only side note, backing up is really different, need to do a little practice

I've often thought that would make a big difference on a TG. Did you go with the 9deg trees? I've got those on our SG conversion and really want to try out their new 12deg units.

I talked to my trike dealer and I may be switching to the 12deg trees. If so, I'll sell my 9deg trees.

Actually, raked trees with less trail allow easier,quicker steering.

Not 100% sure but I think TG trees have somewhere between 3-5 degrees.
Just for info, trike and bike trees are not the same.
