new front end

I have a 1985 fxst and want to install a new front end with a 6 degree rake. How many inches over does the new front end need to be to maintain the stock ride height?

Re: new front end

you will need a rake and trail calc to do it properly

Custom Motorcycle Rake and Trail Calculator

When your date is drunk,bungee-cord her to the sissy bar

or you could buy the correct kit for your bike which is TUV approved and is known to work and does not buggar anything up in the trail and rake and will allow your bike to remain stable and have the stock handling

Convert your Harley, Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, or Yamaha Cruiser into a Custom Chopper in one day!

Re: new front end

If you can find an old Paucho (sp?) catalog they had a calculator in them.
