What are raked triple trees and do Lehman trikes require them?
• Raked triple trees are a front-end modification that slightly stretches out the front wheel of the motorcycle. This results in easier turning and a “power steering” effect. Although not required on Lehman trikes, many customers find them advantageous. Here at the Las Vegas Trike Center we find that Honda GoldWing 1800s normally don’t need one. We strongly encourage a 3-degree triple tree be installed on a Honda GoldWing 1500. For Harley-Davidson motorcycle conversions, it is up to the customer’s wishes.
