rake out front

[canecorso]

has any one ever raked out front of there Rocket say like 6''? I think it would give it a nice look
I was thinking I would like to do it this way I could do a nicer radiator cover and spoiler.
right now front tire is to close to do any big changes.

Surely with the weight as standard - any rake would make handling difficult. Over here it wouldn't get insured. Hope I'm wrong..

As I'm sure you know anything can be done. I would fab up a hard tail frame and go all out with the look. It probably wouldn't be good for anything but going straight but I'd want a picture of it to hang on my wall.

Last bike i had raked out was a 1978 Honda 750K. Last year of the single cam. Back then it was cool. Nowadays and just a bit more experience rider would not even think about it. Especially on a Rocket.

Like said would handle like ****, only good for the bar hoppers plus it would not look nice at all.

not a huge rake something like this Boss Hoss I took for a ride in Daytona bike week it was a 2018 Boss Hoss it had a small rake with a 23'' front tire as far as I'm concerned it handle just as good as my Rocket, the newer Boss Hoss as you can see they make it a lot more slimmer looking and much more better looking I wanted to buy it but found out here in Ontario, Canada they will not ensure the newer boss Hoss. Only a few will ensure the old ones 2007 and down but there so much more bigger.
the new ones is no bigger then the Rocket but with the little rake and a 23'' tire in front I thought looked cool.
anyhow thought I could do this look to my Triumph

Now that is one good looking bike, I have always said the Hoss is the King of the bike World makes the rocket look like a kiddies bike.
