The change was made to correct steering head waggle. The '71-'72 frames had a habit of waggling at speeds of around 35MPH or so. It didn't really affect handling that much but there were customer complaints. Not every bike did it but some did. My '72 had this habit. It was found that by changing the rake 1 degree and altering the yokes by 1 degree corrected the problem.
