How much caster do you run?

I've been checking a few things with my Fat Man front suspension and was alarmed that there was very little caster. I have the frame sitting at the correct ride height/angle (3 degrees rake) and level side to side. According to their paperwork I should have 3 degrees but my measuring device (not sure of the brand but similar to the ones Speedway sells for race cars) says 1/2 to 1 degree. Modern cars and trucks run much more than that to give straightline stability, more like 5-6. What are you guys running or am I the only nut case to worry about such things?

By the way I will be starting a build now that my life is back on track.
