Rake kit for VTX 1300

[ejjr]

I'm going to have a rake kit installed and I wanted to find out what degree kit I should use? I ride on some pretty twisty roads in general. Anyone with a VTX 1300 have an EZ steer or other kit and what degree do you have? I was told by my dealer that the only kits available have 6 degree rake. Is that too extreme? I'm 64 and for now I am strong enough to muscle my trike through corners but I'm thinking of the future...Thanks in advance

Try Frankenstein Trikes .com, they have triple trees that are raked 7 degrees and those handle fine.

I strongly recommend that you contact Randy the owner of Adventure Trikes and Accessories. He is one of the major sponsors of our forum and a great guy. He will hook you up at a great price. If you look at the bottom of the subject thread page of this forum he has a thread to connect to him.

My 1300 non-raked Motor trike doesn't require any muscling in corners. If you meant that literally, I would have a dealer go through it and tune up all the adjustments before I put a lot of money into a rake.

I'm not totally dense, I realize you may have said that for emphasis.

If Randy is Bazooka then I have contacted him but I notice from his web site that they don't handle a rake kit for my VTX.

Hi Steve, I will be doing as you say but I will be raking it with a 6 degree from VTXtreme. Best deal I could find for our VTX 1300 R is $599 from Xtreme. Great people to talk with (owner is Dary Hoksbergen). Read about these folks in one of Smokin Joe's threads. He has one on his trike as well.
