EDIT: Adjusting this will also affect the sag setting for those that want to dial that in perhaps do that after any changes here.

EDIT: This is all testing on street.
What a difference the rake angle made.
At the top of the forks with no bars showing my personal bike rides more like a chopper. It is more squirrely and more wanting to turn, a bit too twitchy for my liking.
Three bars down the bike is extremely planted feeling. Harder to turn. A bit too much for me.
So my journey continues towards somewhere inbetween the two settings to dial in my own personal preference.
