Is that a California hack?  I have one on a 97 standard. Have done some long rides with it.  A challenge @ times to steer.  Raked tree on my wish list if it is that good. cooldude

Got one of Darrells 8 deg on my 01 IS with Hannigan sidecar.  Put it on right away, so not sure how much it helps!  LOL

Artyc, are you going from stock to Daryl's or did you have different trees on before?

I have ordered one from Daryl and looking forward to using it and comparing to a different, custom reworked setup.  Appreciate Daryl's responsiveness and customer oriented attitude, too!   cooldude

The hack is a Texas Ranger sidecar. DEFINITELY do not buy one of those! Very long story. I went from stock trees to Daryl's 8 degree trees. I rode every day for 2 months with the stock trees. It was ABSOLUTELY horrible. Terrible steering head wobble at low speeds. The force on my arms felt like 500lbs. I could only remove my left arm from the handle bars on a straight highway at 55mph or higher. Now my rig feels like a regular motorcycle. Low speed all the wobble is totally gone. The weight or force on my arms is totally gone. Thanks, Arty
