Try this site for calculations on the front end geometry, http://www.rbracing-rsr.com/rakeandtrail.html, it will help you engineer it properly so you will not end up with an accident waiting to happen. With the advent of raked triple trees and offset bearing cup there's no limit to what the imagination can dream up and then make a reality.

I Just Install An Accutronixs Mid-glide Front End On My Bike With No Problems. A Mid-glide Looks Just As Good As A Wide-glide, And Performs Well. No Vibration And It Tracks/trails Perfectly.
