rake and trail specs

I was ready to post up the same query yesterday.
Curious about those numbers myself. I was also looking for some geometry specs for flat track/street track applications that could guide my "big plans" for the 'ole Husky 610. I do know the rake on that thing (28.5 deg.) is not conducive to turning...

Have to save face in the TT thread I take it?
Personally after he said that I'm in agreeance with him too. I think the rake is misbalanced and requires adjusting.

please explain
I always felt there is something nagging me in the different feel of the front end of the gas gas. When he mentioned the rake being an issue to made perfect sence to what I have felt with the gasser over other brands. If I were have only ridden gas gas I would not have noticed it. It's not a huge detriment to the bike just something that does feel different and requires adjusting to.
What year GG are you referring to. The conventional wisdom on this board is that they got "better" in '05 and better yet in '07. If someone doesn't chime in I guess I'll have to try and measure it myself.
I do have rake/trail specs for my '91 Husky 610... 28.5 deg. and 4.72" and it does not turn well at all. That's actually what I'm aiming to correct. It's obviously not all rake and trail either since the 250f honda below has a steeper head angle and a longer trail.
And this is mildly interesting. These are the only r/t specs I found online in a quick search. None of the european MFGS had r/t specs that I could find. 2 smoke specs from Yam or Suz. did not list rake and trail.
'09 Honda crf 250... 27.9 deg. and 4.9"
'09 Honda crf 450... 26[sup]0[/sup] 52' and 4.5"
'09 kx250f............. 27.7 and 4.8"
'09 kx 450f............ 26.7[sup]0[/sup] and 4.6"
It's an 07 EC300.
