Looking for an extended triple tree set for a kz650. about 7 or 8 degree.

Are there any good places to get a set?

Are you trying to rake out the front end to make a chopper?

Raking the frame is usually a better option then raked trees for safe handling
Just my 2 cents

I'm doing a stretched cafe fighter.
and we already raked the frame to increase stability but still want the raked forks.

Les Holt, or Leon Holmes are only options on this site I can think to give you for triple tree fab work

These were made for me by Les Holt, You would have to contact him for any quotes or fabrication options

What KZ650 is it? The 81-83 csr triple tree is kinda straight across. The 750E for example is angled forward.
DimeCityCycles has triples n stuff.

Custom triples for the 650:

My buddy Vinnie's 650 kinda reminds me of your build design.

Don't take my word for it, but it looks like you're raking it the wrong way, if you're looking to improve stability. :blink:



With the neck pulled in like the picture, you're making it more responsive and twitchy if that makes sense.
Don't be ridiculous! It's only a flesh wound!

The neck is not pulled in. A grove is cut out so that we can pull it back.....
