#1018392 Bee Farmer (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 994 Road Star "Rake" 7 Months ago   I don't understand the factors in changing the rake in the neck and don't need to. But I have found a Road Star trike and the ad said it has 32 degree of rake does that mean it has the Easy Steer kit installed it doesn't have the second fork lock tab. It's over a day away from my place so may have my nephew check it out. Just need to know what he needs to look for on the neck.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1018419 SKWEARpeg (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 12885 Re:Road Star 7 Months ago   Bee Farmer wrote: I don't understand the factors in changing the rake in the neck and don't need to.

Unless they changed something, and simply posted the wrong numbers, it's the same as stock. 32 degrees, is what Roadies come out of the factory with. I'm not sure if they recommend going to something like 6 over on trikes, or not. Maybe one of our trike members will chime in.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #1018488 sprt220 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1010 Re:Road Star "Rake" 7 Months ago   I have a Champion kit on my bike with easy steer,that's what champion calls it. Really triple tree.Anyway mine is 5-6 degrees. Works really well the trike. Easier to steer not sure how it would be on a 2 wheel.You probable can see it in my pic.

I uwas told one of the tabs to lock the fork is missing. It's an08 triked R* There is only one fork lock tab on the Roadie neck, Greg. It sticks straight out in the middle(actually a fork stop). The fork locks, are handled by a bolt that is thrown when you turn the key to lock. The bolt slips into a hole. in the upper tree(bridge) You'd think Easy Steer would have a trade mark or something stamped on their work.   Logged     Last Edit: 2017/07/30 15:32 By SKWEARpeg.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1018551 sprt220 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1010 Re:Road Star 6 Months, 4 Weeks ago   Bee Farmer wrote: How do I identify that it has the Easy Steer.

I just checked my bike and there is a tab on the right side for locking on the bottom of the neck but nothing on the lower bracket.You can see on my profile pic that the front end is extended out.

I'm going to have my nephew who lives near it check it out and do the "Face Time" thing so I can get a better look at it.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
