Raked Triple
Trees

Happy New Year!!! With every new year everyone starts to think about a new look for their bike to get them through the winter. At FireHouse Performance we try to stay on top of all the new custom parts and get them available to you before most other shops. This winter the most asked about part has been raked triple trees. These new trees will give your stock bike a custom raked look without cutting the frame or having to buy a new frame. Rake is the angle of your forks on the front of your motorcycle. Most stock bikes have a 32 or 34 degree of rake. With a new set of triple trees, you can get an additional five or seven degrees of rake. This will give your bike the cool look without affecting your handling a great deal. Currently we have triple trees available from Accutronics, and we have recently started dealing with Euro Components. Most tree sets sell for about $450 to $600 depending on what you are looking for in chrome or black. Harley-Davidson has started using raked triple trees on the new V-Rod, and they look and perform very will. If you are interested in a set or any other custom parts, stop in or give us a call, we are always happy to help with all your needs. |
