    Default RAKE KIT for TriGlide

    Anyone undecided about a "rake kit", don't be. I rode down to Zook's Cut N Shoot Customs shop in Conroe TX & had the rake kit installed on my TriGlide. It is everything anyone has said. I did it at start of our ride west trip, because of shoulder surgery. Even 5 months after the surgery, shoulder bothered me after 50 miles or so.

    After the install, I am riding all day long after every day of our trip & still on the road for 2 more days & no pain anymore. So much easier to steer & it plants itself in the curves. My wife even noticed I was feeling better after the install. THANKS ZOOK. CYA IN MAGGIE VALLEY

    I was told by my trike installer that: He has built many trikes in his day, and that 70% of the folks that did not get a rake kit installed, has come back and asked about installing the kit..........BUT not one customer that had this rake kit installed , has ever come back and wanted the 5.5% rake reversed.................. So I put a 5.5% rake installed and I love it...... Although I honestly have no idea how it would have felt w/o it...........

    Sorry Zook,

    I live in Massachusetts, so traveling all the way to Texas to have you install this rake kit, would have been impossible.........(hope you understand)

    So what degree rake did you get and what degree is the stock triple tree, just curious, had a raked triple tree back in the 70's with 10 inch tubes on a 750 honda, drove it a couple times and a guy came around and wanted to buy the bike, offered me a good price so I took it, went to harley's after that, one harley I had a 18 inch springer front end and it was on a 1948 panhead, sure wish I still had that.

    If I remember correctly, trikes come with 3 degree raked trees and the new trees are 9.

    Hawg Halters has 7, 9 and 12. 7 is for conversions and 9 for standard Tri Glides. 12 would be for oversize front wheels like a 23". I run 9 degree on my 14 with a 21" front wheel.

    I think it used to be in a different town many years ago. AMA Hall of Fame >> If that is the one, was there over 30 yrs ago.

    Is Pinkerington,Oh.

    The 9 degree is actually a +5 degree. So when compared to say a GL1800 6 degree rake, it is actually what would be considered a 5 degree. Yes its a bit confusing, but it works.
