    leave it stock! why do you want to rake it, will make the handling worse......unless you are building a drag bike of course

    Just remember, an opinion without 3.14 is just an onion!

      I would find a nice L to rake, but that's just me.

      Life is too short to ride an L.

        I thought I'd read here somewhere that the 1000S had a degree less than any of the other 1000 models and that might be why it was a bit of a pig at speed?

        Don't say can't, as anything is possible with time and effort, but, if you don't have time things get tougher and require more effort.

          If you are wanting a better handling STREET bike, take rake
          OUT of it & put GSXR wheels & suspension on it. If you are building a dragbike, put more rake in it. Ray.

              where is your location?
              there are several excellent fabricators throughout the US.
              Macintosh is local to me and one of the best in the states...beautiful rake jobs!
