Rake question on GL1800

[Flyer]

Hello, I have a 2006 CSC GL1800 with a 6 degree rake and I very happy with it. My question is, I also have a 2002 GL1800 with a Hannigan GTL Sidecar and would like to rake it also now that I no longer plan to remove the sidecar and ride as a two wheeler. What would be the best degree 4 or 6. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Bruce

Bruce I don't think the sidecar has much if any point in deciding which rake to use (except that you never intend to remove it).

Hannigan is a long wheelbase trike but as a GL1800 drive the wheelbase is short like my MotorTrike. The general rule of thumb is 4.5 degree in that situation so I'd suggest that one for your configuration.
