The SS fork legs protrude from the top yoke by about 50/60mm and the clip ons, fit above the yoke. I had thought that when I do the swap to monster yokes that bringing the bike up on the legs (less leg above the yoke) would slow the steering right down, by increasing the trail/castor, but now I have discovered the offset difference I am hoping that it will come back to close to either the original SS geometry or the Monster's. Since I don't know any of the specifics of the geometry of either bikes without measuring carefully, this is all hopeful speculation. I doubt they differ very much, but get there in different ways. Since I will be hacking the rear right off the SS and adding different suspension, I do have the option of tuning it via rear ride height. It will need some careful sums, a little educated guesswork and then the building in of some adjustability in the ride height. Adjustable shocks being the easiest solution I think. I daresay it will take a few test rides to get it right, but I shouldn't be too far out if I stay somewhere near the SS and Monster geometry.
