New rake kit on my Valkyrie Trike (pictures added)

[Warlock]

Finally got my rake kit in and installed. Had machine shop out of Illinois build it. They have been in business for 25 year. Real nice to deal with. They suggested a 5 degree for my set up with no fork extenders. I have just rebuilt both of mine and installed the springs for a 1800 Goldwing which raised the travel to around 1 to 1 1/4 from stock height. With the new rake I sat level with no drop in the front end. Took it far a short ride and can really tell the difference. Wanted to ride more but rain and wet roads. Seems to ride better also. Will have to give it a big ThumbUp.

They must have pulled my post. Didn't want to step on toes. No big deal. It's a free board and they have the right to pull as they please. PM me and I can give you my e mail address.

You are going to Love a rake kit I got mine from Randy , for my 1800 VTX Honda and boy o boy it is GREAT. :clapping:

WOW ... the pics are dramatic ... gives it more of that 70's "stretched" look ... nice. I'm sure the riding will be improved as well, I've ridden trikes with and without rake kits and the raked are far less tiring over long distance. I actually preferred the unraked Tri in the corners, but, that may be because I'm a control freak and want to "feel the burn" ... :AGGHH:

I didn't mean to upset anyone. My thought was that I would have the manufacturer do the install and Illinois is closer to Indiana than Texas.

Hope everyone had a Blessed Thanksgiving Holiday.

Thankyou David

I was wondering, is their ANY vibration?

Have run it up to 85 mph and no vibration at all. Steers and rides better.

Thanks for the advice! Yours looks GREAT, and Papa Zook agreed with you - 6* is the choice. Looking forward to doing mine.
