SugarBear seems to have offset trees . The imaginary line is shown drawn on the rear leg and not through the neck.
Your trees are offset too.
Your line to the ground goes through the rear leg as well. I am assuming that by looking at your cardboard drawing.
Drawing it this way, is the result true zero trail ? I am not an expert at this.

Yes, I have offset trees also. It may appear to use the rear leg. But The steering stem line is used. Sugar Bear runs 0.125 to zero trail. Mine is setup for 2" trail on purpose. Something about playing with the negative side. I'm not that brave yet. LOL (to push it any closer than 2")

Still need to cut to length. Waiting on my rockers for that even though I already know the length. Something about measure 50 times and cut only once. LOL
Rockers water jetted up. Time for the elbow grease to polish up the Stainless Steel Rockers.

Did a little work on the rear fender this afternoon.
It's amazing what you can do with a couple boards.

Rockers arrived today. Just had to see what they looked like.
Front legs are not welded. Still need to cut to length. Looks a little twisted but they are not. They are just laying there.
