Just curious, been looking all over the web and haven't been able to find an answer, but what is the rake angle of the Vintage Sport's front end?

Even the manual didn't mention it, warned against doing anything to change it though

If I recall correctly my prosport is 34 degrees and is three degrees over stock. So I think you're bike would be 31 degrees. Big Dog Rick would know for sure.

They all have,or at least most of them have the 3 in the tree. I think what he was looking for was the neck rake.

Ahhh, I read it too quickly. My Vintage has, I believe, a Road King front end and has increased the rake from 26 degrees (stock HD) +3 to 29 degrees. I remember having this discussion with Mike at SW V twin some 15 year ago and this is what I recall. It is something close to that. Does that make sense? Maybe it was only 1-1/2 degrees more rake on the neck.
