frame geometry is different between every bike, but short: you slow the steering down by raking the head angle forward, like a chopper. opposite by bringing the front wheel closer to the frame , you will get a quick turning bike wich can be unstable at high speed. my experience CRF 450 2015 - 22mm offset (22 degree angle from front wheel axel to steering stem) = stable bike , but less easy to turn. 20mm offset= easy to turn, less stable bike at high speed.
Thanks just got my set and it’s winter didn’t want to be out in the cold garage messing with it great job!
Thank you for sharing.
Watch this clip and I understand the mechanism.
Did you drill out the steering stem nut to put your gas vent hose into ?
No i didn't, and I would not recommend that. I put the hose infront of gastank and frame.
what is the advantage to change the offset?
