Don't think anything changed as the offset, fork length (etc) all remained the same from memory. Either that or the offset was so minor that it was here nor there. It tipped in nicely, held a line and felt more compliant. This is in contrast to the GSXR1000 forks I had on (which admittedly looked a lot cooler as they're gold with black stanchions) that was circa 30mm shorter, it was so frighteningly quick at tipping in that I couldn't bear to ride it, so I got rid of that and bought the 600/750 shocks. Night and day difference between the two!
