Motorcycle Rake and Trail Explained & Applied | Grom Frame Build E7

While building a new frame for our Honda Grom, we want to know what the rake will be, how that will affect trail and how both will affect ride quality.

Question, I have a paramotor trike that I fly, the new trike I'm using have a steep rake with a lot of trail and it has a lot of chopper flop and it's really touchy. I want to fix it so it's more stable and not so jittery at speed. Could you answer so.e questions if I show you pics?

Quick question, what do you exactly mean by "this frame can't legally be use" ?

I did make an adjustable rake on my Honda shadow 😊

Love you videos. Very helpful. I’m still workin on my 86 goldwing rear suspension. Not sure if I should go mono shock style or double shocks like warbird type goldwing builds. Was there a major deciding factor why you choose mono style? & do you think double shocks like Warbird bikes used would work well just based on pictures of that set up? Keep up good work. Your videos have been instrumental for me.

I read somewgere that swapping with a longer monoshock at the back reduces trail. If that's true, can you please explain how?
