have you had a chance to work on the set up?
what differences have you noticed?

I haven't done any adjusting yet...I'm going to do all that at my next track day...but with it setup out of the box..I can tell a huge difference...alot smoother under hard braking and it turns in super fast now...It takes no effort to turn in to a curve..:fact

Nice Ohlins setup. :thumbup

Only comment is that I would've secured the brake lines to the fender mounts like they are from the factory. Otherwise, you might have the lines slapping around on your bike too much. :dunno

Thanks...I have had the brake lines like that forever without any issues...I think it looks alot cleaner without the stock mount.:yesnod

Not to thread hijack but Kevap, I think a member here will buy your old forks and triple tree. Curby may need them. just FYI

the lines won't slap around because the SS material keeps them pretty well planted and that entire setup "fork/triple clamp, calipers" etc all moves together. as long as you can compress the fork so that the lines aren't rubbing on the fender then you're good to go ;) i have the same setup.

what makes it turn faster? you raise the rear or? looks like possibly heavier rims then stock and the galfer wave rotors weight ounces less than stock. i'm assuming you raised the rear or front? curious...my bike rims made the biggest difference in flopping the bike over, combined with raising the rear it's incredible...
