Default Trail Question Fatboy


I was wondering if I could ask a technical question. I have purchased a Fatboy with a 21 inch front wheel and a 17 inch 200mm rear. The bike feels unstable at the beginning of the turn and harder to lean in the turn at higher speeds.
I useda calculator which indicated trail of 6.24.I entered a tree rake of zero would that be the standard figure.I believe the original trail to be 5.8
My plan is to lower the forks by an inch first then fit a 18 X 4.25 PM Vader rim. Does that sound ok?Would this fix my problem.
