Raked Front End - DNA 58mm Inverted Forks

     Ok guys I need a genuine informed answer here - no heresay or uneducated opinions.

    I have a 2005 Softail Night Train. I am going to put a DNA Inverted Front End on it, the 58mm one.

    My question is this: I would like a bit more Rake in the front end, I can buy this front end with a 5/6 degree rake in the trees and 2 inch over length but have used a trail calculator and it does not look good.

    Does anyone have this set up and can you tell me how it handles.

    I have heard/read many different opinions but not from anyone who actually has one usually just "my mate had this setup and i can tell you blah blah blah"

    Look forward to hearing from you guys.

    Ride on - be safe, be seen.
