Raked Triple Trees for HD Springer
Hello all, somtime this winter I'm thinking of getting my triple trees raked by Liberty Sidecars, does anyone know anyone else that can machine my forks or is Liberty the only place to have this done? all that have had this done, please send me your feedback, thanks in advance, Doc.
Doc,
On a springer some change the lower rocker insted of the trees.
Extending the rockers on springer front ends will reduce the trail and make for esier steering. Depending on fender mountings it may affect fender to tire clearance.
If this method is used they must be designed so the rockers are rigid enough that flexing will not occur and cause handling problems. This has happened on some "Leading leg" applications, which is a similar fix sometimes used on telescopic front ends.
