Thank you Nana for your reply. I have a 1996GW SE. Can't decide between 3 4.5 or 6 degree rake. Would appreciate advise. Thanks very much.Am a new green member.
Hi Bazooka Do all 6degree rake kits need fork extensions on 1996 GW roadsmith trike.The Roadsmith, like the Hannigan uses the long and wide rear suspension setup called a "trailing arm suspension". A 6 degree rake is what I recommend for your trike. You'll love it. I sell these delivered for just $695 to TT.com members....all USA made 6061 billet with new tapered bearings and fork extensions included. PM me for details.
I'm certainly not Zook but, any rake kit, IMO, should come w/the proper cap extensions to reset the ride height!Hi Bazooka Do all 6degree rake kits need fork extensions on 1996 GW roadsmith trike.

How long are extenions and do i need them for my 1996gw with roadsmith trike?
Thanks for your reply .I had a very bad experience with my installer and don't have exstenions so trike is low in front and handles badly pulls hard to the right.Yes you do.
Anytime a set of modified Triple Trees are installed, Fork Tube Extensions of proper length (determined by increase in degree) must be added to return the Unit's front to correct height and overall "level" of the Machine.
This is true regardless of Bike at the core or Brand of Trike conversion installed.
