May I ask you if you didn't know about Matt's fork-solution,
Yeah, I learned about those from a guy on the other 300 forum. But I had already bought my cartridges though. I would have been all over that, sounds like a great solution. After a little use and a day of tweaking with the help of Velocity Calibrations, the K-tech's feel pretty good. Nowhere near the composure of my 675R, but I could hustle around corners without my sphincter clenching.

Oh yeah, we both have our builds shown over at WiRiders.com. That is a nice looking R3. I will only see him (meaning the back of his bike, lol) if I get in 500SS though.

Hey, any of you guys ever hear of anyone who modified their wheels for lower weight? I think it's still SS legal if its the OEM wheels. I take my wheels off in the winter so my race tires don't freeze and I noticed the rear wheel of my '13 675R weighs a shocking 2 lbs less. The 300 wheels are heavy mofos! So I was looking at them, and that middle ridge meant for clip-on wheels weights could be milled off. Probably prohibitively expensive, but I was a little disappointed how heavy the 300's wheels were.
