I have made a blue-print in order to get started with my project of reaking my beloved America. I am however a bit uncertan about the tripple trees. All I did here was adding another 7 degrees to the 45 degrees I plan to reak the neck to. If you see anything bad with this blue-print... Please let me know, that will probably save me from a lot of work. The reaking angles are the same as "Wasntme"´s bike. But I dont know if we have the same trail.

I happened to see the steering head bearings for the bonneville/america the other day. They seemed smallish and I'm not sure I would subject them to any more rake stress than they've already got - you might want to see if there's a way to beef them up.

Some of the members here have replaced the stock ball bearings with tapered rollers, looks to be the trick setup.
