Default Rake Kit for 2010 FLHXXX?

Bought a 2010 Street Glide FLHXXX for my wife and steering is pretty hard. Was looking at the Motor Trike Rake Kit ( 6 Degree) to install. Wanted to see if anyone has upgraded the rake on their FLHXXX and if so if it helped with the steering?

Thanks..
Rich

Try a pair of HHI's 9 degree trees, instead. https://www.hawghalters.com/triple-t.../prod_451.html However, what I would do first, is purchase a pair of 14" long Pro-Action rear shocks, from DK Customs. Longer shocks will quicken up the steering, allow more muffler ground clearance, and will offer a huge improvement in ride quality.

Clint44 is right on with the DK 14” Proaction shocks and lift kit recommendations. I just installed both on my 17 TG and the steering is much easier now, big improvement. The 14” Proaction shocks provide the best ride I’ve ever had on a motorcycle.

Which triple trees did you go with? If they are the 6deg units, that probably wouldn't change things, very much.
