    I am sorry for the misunderstanding but I meant clamp like and not replace them with.  I made one set up as a prototype for an upcoming project.  We replace just the top tree and put in longer fork tubes so they will go through the triple trees and not on top of.  We are looking (today) at manufacturing a complete plug and play kit including top triple tree, new fork tubes with a 35.2 mm inside diameter and a standard 1 5/8" (AKA 41 mm which it is not) so I can get the Ohlins 25 mm cartridge system into it.  The top of the triple tree is open for access to the compression (left), rebound (right side) and adjustable spring pre-load adjusters in both.  This system will be retrofit able for the new Ohlin’s computer controlled suspension AKA Mechatronic" system (Electronically Controlled Suspension).

    Well boys fitted the glide-pro cloked 600 ks two up and fully loaded----blown away by the difference in cornering---ok it aint no superbike but now it holds its line into and around and out of the corner at higher speeds than b4---thanks all for the info---cheers Grim.

    You could be right there surly--guess ill never know unless i try the same road and speed again--which I wont. I have been over some of the roads where i have felt this rear wheel steer b4 and this system has eliminated it--- the vid that pro-glide have up on there webb site is well worth a look.Cheers Grim.

    I can see the Grin on you face Grim! I had the same one. I have also gone back over sections of road that have scared the fuck out me (on numerous occasions) and can say that my bike is now able to take these corners and sweepers 25-35k faster before the rear wheel steer tries to poke its head up. When it does though, its not as bad.
    The problem I have is that the more it goes and handles the more I push it and before I know it there is something else to sort out.
