It's not about rake though, as long as you've got enough trail.
Check out this guy's experiments with zero-rake motorcycle chassis design. He's a proper genius and I could only hope to understand half of what he's on about. The pics speak for themselves though.

I think the bike is worth persevering with, as you say, cos I haven't altered the steering angle, only the wheelbase. I'm just not yet good enough to take advantage of its potential.
