raked triple trees

blackrussian
Happy new year everyone. Bought my first bike a year ago. Im very happy with the performance from my 82 cb 750, however being a taller rider the bike feels a little small. Ive been searching for a way to lengthen the stance of the bike without getting too crazy. Does anyone know of a raked tree setup that would allow me to reuse my stock gear or a frame that would allow me to do the same? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Not sure how a longer fork would make the bike fit you better. That is controlled more by handlebars, seat, footpegs and rear shocks. Get a shorter bar that does not pull back as far. That will stretch your arms out more. Slightly longer shocks raise the back up more to fit inseam better. Seat wont do much for you unless you were going shorter. You might find a set of forward controls to fit on but that might be a custom fab job but would stretch out the legs.
The ride IS the adventure. The destination is just to get gas!

You would need to lengthen the frame in the front.

It is actually easier than raking the steering neck.

Sort of Chica style.
