Rake question

[Notgrownup]

So to improve the steering ease on a stock Tri Glide , does the rake go out more or come in?

Go out more.

Thanks, I still don’t comprehend how it works though, I guess it’s like physics and stuff…

I got mine thru Randy and it does make a difference. I've ridden well over 100k miles on my 2 HD trikes both with a rake kit. Might as well be comfortable out there. makes the ride more enjoyable.

Don't mean to hijack this thread but I have a related question. What effect, if any, does adding a fork extender have on steering. I'm thinking of the (usually 1 or 2 inch) extenders used to level the trike after adding rake. My trike has a rake installed but sits slightly nose down. From what I can tell, the fork has no extension. Will adding an extender make the steering easier, harder, the same? Will it result in more tendency for front end wobble or less?

Thanks..... Jim

It will not affect the steering nor will it cause wobble. It will just level the trike.
