cool. i often wondered how it worked. there used to be someone selling offset steering head bearings too, but i don't recall who it was now. not sure how you'd line them up accurately tho. you might get caster instead. |

The expensive adjustable yoke sets have offset bushes (or shims) for both top and bottom so you need to remove the triple clamps from the bike and change it, however I was reading about an Italian manufacturer that makes yokes for supermoto and their design only has an adustable top yoke and the steering stem rotates in the bottom yoke. You simply wind it in or out to get the effective offset. Of course, when you brake and the forks shorten, the offset does become less as the fork is no longer parraleel to the headstock....but only by a mm or so....probably more on a supermoto bike though !! |
