CSC and Rake Kit

[pawpawfrank]

I have an 05 CSC kit on an 03 GL1800 that I recently purchased. I have not had time to do a lot of looking into things on it as I bought it and a few days later we took off on a 2500 mile trip. My question is will the tree have markings on it somewhere indicating the degree of rake? I suspect it is a 4 1/2 degree rake but would like to know for sure for my own curiosity.

My 06 Champion has a 4.5.
I would think that's what yours has too.
I don't know if they mark them or not.

I was also wondering how much rake my CSC had when I bought it in June. I would assume there is a way to measure this by taking a reading somewhere on a two wheel GW and comparing that to trike.

If you call CSC Will can be of great assistance with most questions. He sure seems to know his stuff

There should be a sku number machined into the bottom side of the lower tree indicating the degree of rake, but you may have to remove the black plastic cover to see it. This is a bit of a job as its close quarters, but can be accomplished by using a short stubby phillips screw driver or a flex drive to get the two small screws out that hold the cover on. The other option would be to measure the distance between the lower engine cowl and the front fender. I dont recall the exact measurement of the distance on the two CSC rakes but that would not be hard to find out from owners here or CSC.
