leave it stock! why do you want to rake it, will make the handling worse......unless you are building a drag bike of course

I would find a nice L to rake, but that's just me.

I thought I'd read here somewhere that the 1000S had a degree less than any of the other 1000 models and that might be why it was a bit of a pig at speed?

If you are wanting a better handling STREET bike, take rake
OUT of it & put GSXR wheels & suspension on it. If you are building a dragbike, put more rake in it. Ray.

where is your location?
there are several excellent fabricators throughout the US.
Macintosh is local to me and one of the best in the states...beautiful rake jobs!
