I am assuming that you propose using the yokes in their proper pairs and not using an SS top yoke with a Monster bottom...Of course you wouldn't!

That wouldn't work, obviously, but the trail can be manipulated with different offsets on top and bottom yokes. (Provided the angles in the bores are correctly machined).
Norton did this with the late 850 Commandos, although I'm not sure which way they went.

Interestingly, if the forks are made steeper by pushing the top forwards, it increases the trail and vice versa.
