6 degrees is optimum for most all trikes but if your going to remove the outrigger and still drive it on 2 wheels, a 6 degree rake will probably effect 2 wheel stability to the point where it will be dangerous...
I use a Traxxion 4 degree rake on my 2009 Goldwing with Tow Pac outrigger and I can still ride it on 2 wheels without any serious instability...
6 degrees will make it feel like you have power steering on the trike and is the most popular rake for people that do a full trike conversion to their bike... If I were going full trike, I would definitely do a 6 degree rake kit...
Papa Zook here on the forum can set you up with a rake kit at a good price should you desire to install one...

ya what dad said
Or maybe a leading link solution with adjustable trail?
I went with a 5.5 rake and very happy

Another opinion:
41/2 degree rake for out riggers and short wheel base trikes
Up to 6 degree rake for the longer wheel base trikes, such as Hannigan
