update
Just call. I am in the process of selecting a company that will make a mould than make a wax for investment casting. I need to make the bottom triple tree out of 4140 chrome molly. I have the 3-D drawing already made (which is very expensive) with the design I need for my new forks. Driving down the street you can not tell the difference in appearance only.
I have many Dyna forks with the 30mm Ohlins cartridges in them. There is no other front fork solution that comes anywhere close to this offering. Ohlins sells more than a 2,000/year to the sport bike people.
The rest of this solution is already completed.

Remove your fender, wheel, calipers, ABS Sensor, spacers, axle and set it aside because you will need to re-use it again.
Remove your forks and triple trees. Slide in the new triple trees using your old nut. Install the new forks and clamp from top and bottom. No cow bells can be used, if you like, use fork gators for protection.
Re-assemble as you took it off.
Our own fork tubes that reduce flexing like your present day 1 5/8" fork tubes. With the exception of no cow bells, looks exactly like stock including all bolt on parts. Like everything I do, it will set the bar as the best in the world and everything else measured to it. Works the same as what we do on the Dynas. As bigdaddy33 already states, there is nothing in the existing world that compares to this system.

Thats a pretty vague description of your isuue. Maybe; your emulators aren't set up properly, you have the wrong springs, sag is not set correctly, or you are running the wrong viscosity/amount of fluid. So long as your stock trees are tight, I can't imagine that they are the cause of what you are feeling.

The front end performs 100% better than it did when it was stock. I'm looking for that extra something. I ride aggressively and notice a degree of twitch in the front when hitting rain grooves or really pushing it in bumpy sweepers. The stock upper triple tree and for tube attachment leave something to be desired. It's not the strongest setup for performance with no clamping at the top of the tube. I was wondering if anyone has tried the tourtrack triple tree. If you haven't, I guess you can't answer the question I'm asking.

My bad, there are a lot of potential causes for what you are experiencing, I didn't realize your very specific personal experience requirement to reply would be so strictly enforced. I ride agressively as well and I was able to set up a solid suspension on my '06 without incorporating a pinch bolt upper tree system. Hmm, I wonder what people ever did befor the unveiling of the Tour Track and the like. I wish you great sucess setting up your Street Glide for road race curve carving.
