Would I be right in thinking the Monster yokes have the fork legs approx. 5mm closer to the steering head, so the trail of the front wheel is increased by 5mm too?

By “Front Wheel Trail” I’m meaning the horizontal distance on the ground between the centre of the tyre contact patch and the intersection with a projected line of the steering head axis.

It would be interesting to compare that change with the magnitude of increase/decrease in front wheel trail when you raise or lower the forks in the yokes or adjust the height of the rose joints in the rear suspension wishbone/tierod? Of course dropping the front, or jacking up the back end affects caster angle, wheelbase and other aspects too.

That could be how the racers try to get the Monster back to 888 and SS geometry.
