You will need to change your fender for sure. You do not need to rake it but if you do not rake you need to find a way to stiffen up the forks a bit. We linka Progressive spring kit and an extra fork stop cut in half with half on each fork leg and some heavy (30 wt) fork oil.

Ok cool thanks!!! I wanted to keep my ultra stock fender too! Dang! Someone was telling me that I can raise up the fender with some kind of fender lift kit?! Is that true?! And do you have any tips where I can get a stock rear wheel and tire with pulley and brake?! Thanks for all the help!
