Description

We have two models of this rake kit:

  •   21” Front Wheel FXSTS/FXSTSB Springer Softails and Badboy (Will increase rake by 4.5 Degrees)
  • 16” Front Wheel FLSTS/FLSTSB Heritage Springer, Classic and Cross Bones (Will increase rake by 7.5 Degrees)

Harley Springers are DERAKED from the factory!
Our rake kit puts the front end inline with the frame neck, for better handling & highway cruising.
Excellent for Trikes!
 

For OEM HARLEY Front Ends Only
Will not work on ANY aftermarket springer front ends


Does not Require new fork cups.
Instead we supply a raked fork stem, new top tree, bearings, and a fork stem retaining bolt(bottom bolt).


Available with Natural Aluminum, Chrome or Black Powdercoated Top Tree
(CHROME IS TEMPORALLY UNAVAILABLE)

*If you are changing wheels, you can use any size, but the kit you buy stiil has to match model of the springer fork/bike.**
The list above is only for reference as to what the models originally had for front wheels.
Example: You have a Crossbones with a 16" Wheel and are changing to a 21" Front Wheel. You still need the FLSTS 16" Wheel kit. 

This is not the most reliable way to tell the difference between Springer Forks:
FLST Springer Forks have the Brake Caliper on the Left Side of the Bike
FXST Forks are on Right Side.

See picture above for the most reliable way

NOTE: Steering Lock will no longer function with this kit.

After the Rake kit was installed it made a BIG difference in the bikes handling and cornering turns. Installed on my 1997 FLSTS Heritage Springer. with a side car.

Advantages: Having the rake kit installed made the Springer ride smoother with making left or right turns....

Installed to a 91 FXSTS and the difference is amazing. A lot lighter on the bars and a more compliant ride over the bombing range that is called Australian roads. Very easy kit to install, I drilled out the original stem (no access to a machine shop to press it out) in 3 steps using a 23 mm drill as the last hole. It was harder to replace the steering head bearings than replace the stem, really it is that simple. Very well made kit.

Advantages: 4 degrees of rake makes for lighter bars, better over imperfections in the road with no real change in ground clearance
Disadvantages: None really. I does state that you can not use the steering lock, but as the original is only designed to keep honest thieves away, I tack welded a couple of high tensile washers to the original piece of the steering lock and use a slightly longer shanked pad lock.

I installed the rake kit, and I must say, my 2006 fxstsi steers and turns with much more confidence.

Advantages: Handles great, view of bike from the front looks badass.
Disadvantages: None so far, I’ve had it on my bike for over 7 years now.

install on 07 springer. WOW little more work than expected. Getting old stem out 20,000# and still needed a good wack with a hammer. Gound about 1/4 inch off upper tree to fit. Quicker steering. Massive speed wobble after but new front tire and its OK now?? Kept my dust shields just make should they are centered! and not touching! lock to lock! Check them 3 times its easy for them to more a little bit and touch later.

Advantages: Looks great like the front should. Very low watch the bumps and corners until you adapt.
Disadvantages: would have paid more for better machining. Better bottom bolt.
