Loose the stock tires and Racetech the front forks. I've got new 
tires set to go on this week. But replacing the front fork springs 
with the Racetech has made a really big difference. Much less dive 
and cut the standing up by about 40% hope the tires will add another 
40%. Also for those that have Racetech-ed their front ends I had my 
suspension guru change the front fork oil in ONE fork to 10 wt ( 
still have 5 in the other) it helped get the rebound just about 
perfect. I also had on Racetech's advise a quarter turn added to the 
emulators, so compression damping is also right on the money. Frankly 
I really wish Triumph had spent the extra few dollars and given us 
the Cartridge fork of the Daytona and Speed T . I can't see why they 
had to cheap out on the front forks. The ST is about the same price 
as the Daytona.. Hell I would have spent another $500.00 on the bike 
to get the better forks!
