Why not make them rotors a little bigger (MMC 320 mm @ 4.2 lbs/pair), use real Brembos, and throw in some 30 mm cartridges just like Danny Eslick and all of the top winners in the Superbike AMA have done?

Default Yup

I am running the stock 12 SB shocks and have found that the front end completely dives on corner entry and will be changing the fork springs to the Progressives with maybe 10 or 15 w shock oil close to maximum capacity. The shocks I havent decided on yet and I will address those once I get forks dialed in better. If you wanna knee drag than buy a GSXR, but the Dyna can be better than what it is from the factory for sure and thats what the fella is lookin for. These bikes are wayy to undersprung and under damped for such a small amount of travel. But they sure are cool.............
