It's a bit tricky to measure at the moment but there appears to be about 55mm of offset on the yokes. That's as near as dammit 2 1/4" which is I believe the standard offset.The story is a little more complex in that when I bought the rolling chassis the yokes had a taper in the top clamp as most Norton yokes do. However at that time short roadholder stanchions were not available anywhere so I had to use Commando stanchions which were too long for the featherbed. The solution was to bore the top yoke to make it a pinch bolt type. We could have shortened the forks, but I rather liked the idea of being able to slide the forks up and down to change th e teering geometry.
