I recently dropped my yokes to 15mm and am very pleased with the noticably more urgent steering response, it's interesting! However, I didn't make a good job of getting the fork legs truly parallel when it came to tightening the yokes up. Things go wrong when I torque the stem nut on top of the yoke because it twists the whole lot out of true and no matter how much I try and anticipate the 'twist' I end up with handlebars pointing slightly out of kilter to the right.
Has anyone got a good tip for doing this right?
