Why longer tubes with Degree kits?

Rake Trail General Explanation

As with any custom parts used for street purposes, extreme caution should be exercised when determining appropriate use of these parts.Installation should be done by experienced, qualified mechanics only.

Always be sure to keep your Rake/Trail specs within required tolerances to insure proper handling.

Kits That Include the longer tree stem WILL REQUIRE +2"or longer,tubes to be installed. This is due to the new cups adding to the stock neck length, as such the triple trees need to be expanded to clear the new bearings. This shortens the distance between the axle and the tree reducing slider/suspension travel! Also longer fork tubes only affect Rake/Trail when +degree trees are used.

+Rake trees and Custom Frames with 34° or more rake need special attention to rake/trail dimensions. Raked trees drastically reduce trail.

Factory neck locks cannot be retained when using any degree kits.
