[Hoosier Daddy]

I can relate... seemed like so much time back in August when mine showed up. :

How much did the front end swap change the rake and trail of the front end?
And what year did the front end your using come off of?
Im trying to rake my front end out a bit, and thought about going with a gl front end.

What are you trying to achieve with that modification? DOHC CBs have a lot of rake and trail even compared to comparable bikes of the time and are really in the "touring" category compared to modern bikes.

I'm trying to rake my front wheel out a bit more then stock. I run a 21" spoked front.

Hey guys, its been a while... here's why

My wife decided to go back to work in March... Soooooooo... I signed the lease on this place back in April and my summer has been spent making it functional and giving my truck some much needed TLC... 1750 sq ft of blank canvas!

Got them all racked and aligned after the kids went to bed... having these done makes me anxious to fire it again.
