I received my 6 degree rake last week (it's the new version) and I got around to installing it today. Very easy to install and really a nice look. I took it for a short ride (weather isn't to good here today) and it handled great. You do sit a bit different with it installed. I was worried about my Phat Performance bars but they seemed to lay back just enough. I'll post some pics and update this thread when the weather breaks.

did you go with the 6 or 8 inch rise on your bars? I can't seem to decide which one to go with....I also have raked 6 degree trees...so I can't wait to see your pics also....

looks good, BUT 6 degrees dont look like much! I must be greedy and want more of a rake.

That does look good. How much did it drop your front end? :?:

I think our wait is almost over. One of the guys on this list has left his X at Mortons Customs and they are designing 7degree trees with three inch extensions and it should be done any time now so you may get more rake soon.
I gotta say that even if it is only 1 degree more, with the fork extensions it looks like a lot more. I almost bought the 6degree trees cuz I ordered a 21" front wheel from RC and just that one inch lift with the 6degree trees looks pretty good.

I think 7 degrees would be to much for me, that looks sweet scoob, you've sold me on the 6s

I know I like it. I can't imagine that 1 more degree will make that much difference. Yes I've seen them on the Shadow but they already have more rake than our VTX's do. I doubt it'll look much different. I'm not sure how much it dropped my front end but I know it did. I have 1.5" lowered shocks on the back and it leveled it out.
