I was thinking about raking the front end on my 2005 H-D FatBoy.  I found this kit on the internet and I was wondering if anyone has any experience installing the bolt on rake kits, verses taking it in and having the frame modified.

Here is the one rake kit I found, I am sure there are many more available...

Thanks in advance for any and all input.

Great kit, I purchased one of these for my 05' Honda Shadow (though it took my more like 12-18 hrs) looks good and runs just fine at top speeds..... little pricey for H-D's but 1695 isnt cheap either I guess.

That does seem a little expensive. I would check with a local custom shop and see how much they would charge to cut and weld the rake in.

Just a suggestion.

Thanks...now I might have to figure out how to pay for another cool part for my Sporty!I like that it is a bolt on,means bolt off too if needed!That would look sweet with a Nightster rear fender....Hmmmmmm

The better kits, like the one you mentioned, work great. They are designed well so they are both solid and maintain good handling. They should be fairly easy to install.
