A bit more information after a bit of research, early Monsters have a 25mm offset, whereas 851/888 which uses the same frame has yolks with 30mm offset as does the ss and later Monsters. Apparently more offset gives less trail which in turn tends to give less stability & quicker turning. My current thinking is that by fitting ss yolks I should be able to maintain my current trail value while also reducing my current front end bias that has resulted from raising the rear end/dropping the front end, which in turn might help cure the lack of rear end grip that I have been troubled with (referred to in a previous thread) when using the original 93 yolks. If anyone could shred any further light on the subject, i.e. whether what I'm saying is in any way correct I would be obliged. Otherwise I'll just continue to talk to myself, all the best Bitza.
