I had a 02 Wing with a Champion kit WITHOUT the rake kit. Good gravy it was like driving a Mac truck! I was worn out at the end of a 300 mile ride, my arms ached....It always drifted to the low side of the road and was a bear fighting it all day....

I now have a 07 with a CSC kit WITH the rake kit, what a difference, it's like power steering....while the trike still drifts to the low side, it's nothing to control it....easy handling.....positive steering control.... :yes:
In a word, GET IT!!!!! I would not be without some type of rake kit on a trike..... :yes1:
The only trike I've ever ridden that didn't need it was the Euro trike, but it has a 4000.00 front end on it.. :22yikes: ..leading link with a car tire, cool but pricey.
