That bike looks like it has had some work in the neck as well.

DUDE, I SAID THAT I CURRENTLY HAVE 6 DEGREE RAKED TRIPLE TREES.
I'm sorry if I'm coming off rude but I've gotten 3 messages from people saying installing raked triple trees. Please read what I wrote, I currently have 6 degree triple trees.

Looks like your gona have to cut the neck to really get the look you want. Make sure you do your research when you have this done. You can really mess up your ride if you get the math wrong.
Best advise on this one is take it to a repitable shop that has plenty experience and maybe has demo bikes you can look at. BMS Choppers comes top mind. Its prob gona be expensive, but its one of those things you want right.
Good luck man, I look forward to how it turns out.
...by the way, "6-degree trees would help"...just kidding...  |

That is kinda rude.
Crash369 said it and I repeated it and he said to you that bike has
A RAKED NECK, RAKED TREES & 4 OVER ON THE DOWN TUBES HOW MUCH MORE CLEAR COULD IT BE SAID TO YOU???
I would guess that from the looks he may have 6 degrees in the neck on top of the 5-6 degrees in the trees. So there you have it. If you want that look then you better plan on buying the raked neck kit from Tricky Air and then plan on buying longer down tubes otherwise your trail will be off so badly that your bike will handle like crap!
P.S. If you want help with this contact Rick at www.rakedcycles.com

Why not ask him directly? I am pretty sure that is Fishes' bike. You can find him on the Ape Hangers Revolution forum. Try searching for post #1462.11.
Edit: I just sent him a PM. Hopefully, he will respond and give you the answers that you seek.

Currently I have the Barons 6 degree raked triple tree installed. The problem is, it's not really the front end look that I'm looking for. I've attached a picture (I hope, I hope, I hope) for the actual front end look. I'm not sure if I need to do something with the tubes or not. Can you guys advise me as to what I need to do additionally to my front end to get the desired look. I'm hoping not to uninstall the triple tree.
I think you have to copy the link into your browser. Sorry guys
just out of curiosity, you have the 6º yokes, so what extension do you have on your forks, and/or how much lowered at the back?
