RAKE KIT for TriGlide

Just installed the rake kit, intimidators and chrome lowers (on my Freewheeler, not a TriGlide). What I wasn't aware of was that the Freewheeler nacelle, upper fork cover and headlight don't fit as it is different than the TriGlide. I suppose I'll have to fabricate a mount for the headlight and find a nacelle to fit. Wouldn't have done the rake kit had I known this in advance.

This thread is about TriGlide rake kits. The Freewheelers do require additional parts as they do not come equipped with a fairing and the headlight nacell is different. Thanks for the correction on HDForums.com, the notice is on the site you ordered it from. The nacelle is available for less than $100 on ebay and you will not need to fabricate anything to mount the headlight as the nacelle takes care of that.

The nacelle is available for $100. on E-Bay but doesn't include all the necessary items to make it work. I bought a complete used kit for $422. off E-Bay.
 
Do the rake kits use the same steering head bearings? My 2013 needs attention. I bought it used and I'm suspicious that it may have a rake kit installed.
 
I can’t attach the steering stabilizer unless I get a longer bolt and bushing. It’s been awhile since I looked at it but it seems the stabilizer would rub. I’m sorry but I can’t recall for sure. The trike had been in an accident but was only scraped up a little but the fairing and front fender had been replaced.
 
Anyone undecided about a "rake kit", don't be. I rode down to Zook's Cut N Shoot Customs shop in Conroe TX & had the rake kit installed on my TriGlide. It is everything anyone has said. I did it at start of our ride west trip, because of shoulder surgery. Even 5 months after the surgery, shoulder bothered me after 50 miles or so.

After the install, I am riding all day long after every day of our trip & still on the road for 2 more days & no pain anymore. So much easier to steer & it plants itself in the curves. My wife even noticed I was feeling better after the install.
