Has anyone installed a rake kit on their trike? If so, which one? Cost? Worth it?

Hannigan dealer did mine at conversion 9 years ago. Never had an opportunity for before and after comparison. Here is a rake discussion from a while back.

There have been many threads out here about rake kits. It would seem that a lot of people wouldn’t leave home without one (myself included in this category), as well as a few said they didn’t think it necessary on their trike.
For good info I suggest you contact Papa Zook (Randy) who owns TrikeTalk, is a trike builder, and sells a rake kit to TrikeTalk members at a nicely discounted price. He can answer all your questions to help you decide whether to put one on your trike or not.
His company is:
