Default tripple clamp

Just instaled Dan kyle racing tripple clamp with full Ohlins forks and shocks. Also a new Ohlins stearing damper. I can tell you it feels like a totaly diffrent bike. The head shake is gone, now it is fully stable under hard acceralation. Big thanks to Dan Kyle for all the help. Next on the list is a full exhaust and pc5. Here are a few pictures.

Thanks for that, I just fitted the Ohlins FGRT forks and 888 shock, i swapped the rear height adjuster to keep the height relationship between front and rear the same and keep the fork geometry similar (ohlins forks raise the front 11mm)
Bike is now very good..

The clamps give you the ability to change rake independently from trail, instead of changing both with front ride height on standard clamps. They are also a bit stiffer than stock clamps. And uh, cool looking.

Has anyone posted a write up on what they have experienced between the stock and aftermarket triple clamps?

Quicker steering and faster side to side transitions make sense but are their any other tradeoffs beyond being more sensitive to rider inputs at high speed?

I am also considering buying a set, looking at both the Attack and Dan Kyle's TC's but I still need the key as it is used mostly on the street.

Thanks!

Can anyone comment on what is invloved with swapping out the rear shock? Do you have to remove the catylitic converter or can you sneak it in from the top of the swingarm between the rear subframe ?

You have to raise the tank, bottom two bolts out of rear sub frame so it wil hinge on the top ones. Raise the rear subframe and the shock will lift out.
