Is Raked Cycles Still in Business? 2 Years, 8 Months ago  
Hey Guys, does anyone know if Raked Cycles is still in Business, sent them several emails, no response, just hoping someone may know. Looking to purchase their raked triple trees for some rake.

If you don't mind losing the tins, the Baron's 6-degree rake is a good piece of work.

I think Rick over at Raked is a piece of work, too. Just in a different way...

I Emailed Raked cycles a week ago... no answer back so I ordered triple trees from Champion sidecars ... you can reuse all OEM parts (tins etcthey ain`t cheap!! but they were in stock and they shipped them next day......

I'm not sure how a windshield mounts. There are no holes tapped in the front of the Baron's setup. It's completely smooth. But, I'm sure it can be done.

I had trouble getting Rick to answer my emails sometime back. I ended up going with a completely different raked front end.
(Front End) This would be another option but this front end is not set up for windshield either. But with a little work and a thread tap it could be done.

Yeah, i've gotten a hold of him, but nothing is moving very quickly. Probably go with Barons. PS i really like the forks you posted, if i had another go around, they would be a viable option, but as i am dealing with stock and putting a roadliner wheel up front they wont work this time around. very cool though.
