rw....do call daryl. he builds what is probably the best, and most thought through tripple trees out there.  i have seen his trees on an is, and the first thing you notice is that tojo honda's fairing is now level, and better looking.  on top of all that, the ride and handling qualities are improved for the better.

Contact MP, he has a rake on his sidecar rig and also rides it solo.  Hoser

Daryl built the rake kit for my 01 IS that I put the sidecar on.  Works great. When used solo, we did have to tweak the length of the fork extensions though.  Daryl did it free.

Cannot remember if we went with longer or shorter extensions.  It handled a little squirrelly at first, but with the different length extensions, it is fine solo.  Both were OK with the sidecar.

I believe we had to go from 2" to 1 3/8" extensions.  Hopefully he can chime in with the facts!

Gotta throw my 2 cents in about Daryl.  I have his trees on my standard, they are awesome.  On  top of that, best customer service I have ever experienced and I can be a real pain in the ass.  He surpassed my expectations.  Do a search and you will find a good thread I posted about his trees.
