I'd be curious to hear from any rider that has done a track day with their Street Triple using the stock suspension. Most all of us are not in the position to really push the suspension on a good track surface which is where any real weakness would show up. I try to avoid pot holes and ruts in the road, but when the bike hits the occasional bad stretch it pretty well jars my teeth. I suspect though that no amount of suspension tuning would affect the outcome on a truly nasty road surface. My recall shock should be installed by next weekend (the part arrived within three days of the shop ordering) or as soon as I can get the bike to them. I haven't really noticed any degradation of the original yet, but I'm having them swap it out just to be safe. On good roads I've been really pleased with the bikes overall handling. I still have a Daytona shock I may, or may not use. It all depends on how the stock equipment reacts after having 1500 miles or so on it. An update from Jamie, or some of the other riders using the Daytona set up might be good. I'm interested in feedback regarding the affect on steering geometry at high and low speeds and any other insight they might offer.
