Installing different size wheels will change the rake.
Different length shocks within the rear will also.
Sportbikes have the opportunity to install lowering links to the rear suspension, for riders wanting a lower seat plane.
That changes the steering rake.
Also moving the front forks up or down in the triple trees (steering stem).
To the character that gave me a "thumbs down".
Picture this -
You have a bike next to a front wheel of 4 feet contained by diameter and the steering neck is made at 45 degrees.
The front axle is 2 foot off the ground.
Now if you change the front reins to 2 inches, the angle of the steering neck has to amend when the front of the the bike is lowered almost 2 feet.
Just changing to a different tire, near a taller or smaller ride height, is enough to alter the handling characteristics of a finely tuned sportbike.
The methods I mentioned contained by the previous paragraph will change the rake.
They may not be of significance for the questioner, I was giving option to a vague question.
check into sidecar installers or manufacturer they routinely custom rake triple trees so the sidecars work right.
For some bikes you can buy a rake triple tree.

Answers: You can't. The degree of rake is the angle of the fork to the frame. Generally increasing the rake means adjectives the frame at the fork head and moving the lower portion forward, away from the bike. Years ago, there be triple trees that were "raked" to change the fork angle, but I enjoy seen them in a long time. Don't permit just anyone cut the frame on you bike - if it isn't done right it will totally screw up the ride and effectiveness of the bike. If you rake the neck, you will also need longer fork legs. Good Luck!

Check the catalogs for "raked position cups"
You can add a couple ,maybe 3 degree of rake by changing the fork bearing cups to a duo of special angled ones.
Or go 2" or 4" longer on your fork tubes.
Check out my old lady's bike,it have both raked cups and 4" over fork tubes ( and it handles reasonably nicely) I've had it over 100 mph a few times.
It can be seen on my 360 blog. For the record, lets win things straight. There are 2 main items in front closing stages design which must be in correct relationship to make a angelic handling machine. They are rake, and trail. When you use 'raked' triple trees, you reduce the trail, which make for an unstable suspension system. With the bike setting level, an imaginary row drawn through the steering stem to the ground, call this the trail point. Then a line is dropped from the front axle center to the ground. Call this axle point. Trail is the distance axle point is losing trail point, the more trail, the higher the stability of the bike, and heavier it handles. As the points move closer together, due to changed triple trees, the bike feel lighter, and stability is reduced. With the same triple trees, if rake is decreased, ie fork is at an angle closer to vertical, bike is more quicker handling, bit smaller quantity stable. Greater angle from vertical, slower handling, and more stable. Offset of fork tubes from steering stem also control trail, Look at modern bikes with forks almost straight up, very little compensate from stem to tubes. This gives more trail, and still reasonable street lamp handling. Look at an old English bike, fork tubes are at more angle from vertical, almost like a mild chopper, and the balance from stem to tubes is much greater. This is to keep the trail in sense. A correct balance between all settings is required for proper handling. Using 'raked' triple trees is not a dutiful way to do business. Especially if you like to dance around corners fast. And, they are heavy handling at low speed.
So, to answer your quiz, you can not, and do it right. To be safe is often complicated. For show, who care. For a crooked road, the rest of us will wait for you down the road.
