This is a 1971 Steyr Clubman. I am working towards making this a rainy day commuter. I have stock fenders and rack that came with the bike. What can I expect from the way raked fork? Will it steer like a slow moving bus? Will it smooth out the ride? Will it perform as more modern relaxed geometry bike?

I have also included a picture of another older fork. The rake may look more dramatic because of the way the dropouts are oriented.
