Yes there are, but may do more harm than good. Raked trees affect the handling much more than a raked frame so math is in order to determine whether the bike will be driveable with the raked tree you would plan to use. I have a raked tree that adds an additional eight degrees of rake. Haven't done the math, nor have I even ridden a bike with them mounted (came mounted on a non-runner) so I don't know how these would affect handling. They sure look good though. I'll post some picts if I can find them showing them mounted on a stock frame with a little longer forks.

Usually, raked trees are used in concert with a frame rake to decrease the resulting trail. Some bikes handle fairly well with just raked trees installed (like my VTX 1300), but some do not, and I don't think the CB 750 stock frame would like raked trees too much... think shopping cart steering.

 MILKMAN, I love that avatar.. i collected advertyising signs for years...

 The raked tres on stock frame, not a good idea.. they have their place on major rakes though..
