That kit is from Paul Yaffe's Bagger Nation. It takes much more than just the triple tree kit to get the desired rake. The complete project requires cutting the frame and welding a wedge behind the steering neck, adding a raked fairing, and a bunch of other stuff. No easy task, but the results are impressive looking.

"but the results are impressive looking.".............Geeeez,  One would hope that (not only),  it "looks good",  but the handling,  both high speed and low has not been seriously compromised. :nixweiss:

Raking a (bar hopper) bike to "look cool" is one thing.............Taking a bagger that is normally meant for long trips,  high speed and loaded down is quite another. :-\

gotta say my first thought is why would anyone want to hack up a bagger that much

Don't think I'd be messing with the rake on a bagger.. they have enough wobble problems as-is   :'(
