Go to my website for a fully interactive rake/trail calculator for the CB400F. Just plug in whatever wheels/clamp offset/shock length/ swingarm length you want and it will give you the resulting rake and trail.

Dang, Rick, that is a sweet tool.  Thanks for setting that up for the public.

My trail definitely increases, which is going to slow my handling down a bit, but improve high-speed stability.  The front will comes in closer to the engine though, so it will be loaded more.  I guess I just need to build this sucker to see how it performs.
