Posidenuk – I’ve altered my geometry as per the section8superbike site and find the difference between the standard setup and the altered setup noticeable.

I ride my favourite rode at around 100-130mph (no cops or traffic only the odd farm vehicle) and at this speed the turn in is definitely faster with no reduction in stability. On the standard setup the bike would run slightly wide on the exit of higher speed corners and this had been eliminated with the geometry change.

Please check your torque settings on the triple clamp pinch bolts as the factory torque settings are quite low so as not to crush the fork tubes. I guess fork length from the under side of the triple clamp to the base of the fork should also be measured to ensure fork lengths match (important for correct front axle alignment)

Some feedback from andyb on his statement would also be appreciated
