howdy doody

do any of you clever types happen to know what the rake dimension is for the trx please?? i am having a set of bars/risers made and he wants the rake to be able to make them straight to the yoke.

being a subject that i never paid much attention to i can never remember if the rake comes from the angle of the forks or from the headstock (thinking thats the steering angle??????? :? ).

if there is a simple way to measure it then that would help too!!

cheers muchly.

Rake is the degree that the forks are at from the vertical, measured using the wheel axle and the HEADSTOCK.

Shipped from Hangzhou China I believe, just priced in dollars because it`s the internationally accepted currency. :wink:
I`ve bought stuff from Danmoto, the quality is pretty good in all honesty.
