That for the reply Matt, but I may now be more confused. I think I may not understand trail correctly.

I found this in an advertisement. Keep in mind that the higher end Ducs have two settings for rake (23.5 & 24.5). I have not fond out what the stock offset is?


Performance billet triple clamp set for the 749/999 series. These have a 27mm offset for better stability and include an aluminum headstock pin and hardware. Available in Silver only with 53/56mm diameter for Ohlins forks. They are also available for Showa forks. No adapter is rquired.

Adjusted in the fast steering head angle (23.5), you will run the same trail as a stock bike which equals superfast turn in, lighter turn in, more feedback from the front tire and more stability out of the chassis. This will allow you adjust to run the rear end of the bike lower for increased traction.

Your forks will sit “lower” in the clamps (higher front end) so in effect the bars get raised 10mm from stock. This is easier on your arms and hands. It is much better for long trips with all the benefits of a perfectly setup bike.

How would changing the offset of only one t-clamp effect the big picture (like many choppers).
