RE: adding more rake to a LowRider
You've already got 32 degrees of rake. Isn't that enough? It's the same as the Wide Glide. Don't use raked trees, you'll screw up the handling royally. Raking the frame is the only way.

That statement is completely wrong! Rake does affect handling but how you get the rake is irrelevant. Rake is rake regardless if it's in the trees or the frame. Frame rakes look more professional, but tree rakes are alot more practical for people that don't want to swap frames and lose their Harley title, or have a machine shop cut their frame up. If you aren't going to compete in bike shows, rake the trees and ride 3 hours later with lots of extra cash in your pocket.
