Springer-Rake, Trail!!!!!!!!!!
Posted: Thu Nov 29, 2012 6:44 pm
Okay, here is what i have--Paughco +6" taper leg springer, Kraftech rigid frame, 38 rake, + 2" in down tubes. I have been using this springer on a swingarm frame Paughco, with 34 rake +2" down tubes. This thing rides and handles great. After mocking up with the rigid-looks like its going to be about 1" short!
So to my question--RAKE & TRAIL, i sure as hell cannt make anything of it? Can i change the shape of the rockers-to raise the front end? Or should i just cut the frame and remove 3-4 degrees of rake??? There is no way i am going to cut the front end.
I need a lay-mens way of figuring rake and trail. And what are we looking for in trail? 3 3/8" or more or less????? Sure dont want to mold and paint frame just to do it again! HELP !!!!!!!!!!! Greg
