The distance wouldnt change between the right and left sides.

Say your on the bike, looking straight down at the triple. the upper will be right on, while the lower one is just ever so cocked to the right. Although its very minor at the triple tree it will throw off the end of the forks at the wheel.

It happened on my 6R when I wrecked. Had a friend (whos dad owned a bike shop) fix it.
