While I've got Mitzie's Trike here today, might as well show off it's Zook Rake Kit...I installed it while the Trike was being built last year. I went with a 6 degree Kit. The Machine Work and Finish are flawless.....

It required no altering, drilling, filing, etc. for all of the Stock Components and the Memphis Shades Windshield Brackets to fit...Perfect Bolt-on Installation.....

Even has a Stop Plate machined into the Lower Tree that works against the Honda Stock Frame Stops. The Lower Tree is just as Nicely Machined as the Visible Top One is.....

Need a set of Raked Trees for Your Trike, They're as close as to Your Right in the Advertisers Column here on TRIKE TALK.com..."click" on a Set Today, You'll be glad You did.....ThumbUp :10:
 
Nice work, I miss our machine shop at Dupont since I retired. Could get most anything I wanted from those guy's. We had one Milling Machine Computerized. It was amazing to see what that thing would do.

Yeah, these are definetly Nice Raked Trees...I really like em'.....now to "eventually" get some Performance Machine Wheels for my Gold Wing Trike.....ThumbUp
 
Chrome wheels are really the way to go. My RK already had Factory Chrome wheels. It really helped the looks of Annette's Triglide when we Swapped her's for Chromed wheels. So much easier to keep clean!

A little off topic, I see you mention you worked at Dupont. Would that be the Tio2 plant in Johnsonville TN?
 
So, I fly from AR to SC to pick up my 03 Honda Goldwing with a Champion Trike kit. Seller tells me that it has the Honda Easy-Steer. Did not think so easy, but I had no experince with a trike so what did I know? Take it to Honda dealer here in AR for some maintenance and tell them about "shimmy" in front end. Find out the front tire is "cupping" and I need a new tire. They also tell me I should put a rake kit on. So I spring for a new front tire and get the 6 degree rake kit a week later. OMG!!!!What a difference. I am having to relearn to ride my bike. I LOVE IT. What a difference the rake kit makes in the handling. So glad I added this to my bike.:wave4:
