Hey Matt,
Instead of putting all that money into your ST to make it more "track"able why not just pick up a '99 or so Daytona 955, put some "Sharkskinz" or "Airtech" fairing on it and go. It would seem to be more "track ready" from the get-go, and you're already familiar with the powerplant.

Subject: [ST] Ohlins Rear Shock
Now that my ST is doing track duty as well, and the short comings of the stock
rear shock are more prononced, I got a quote on an Ohlins fully adjustable rear
shock. Now I plan to do a dedicated track bike for next season (laying out
$1000 for the tow stuff on my MDX, and another $1500 for trailer, new track
worthy boots, 1-piece leathers, track time costs, etc... has put the bike off to
next season). So, I can't justify the cost for upgrading for the track, when
the ST won't be on the track for more than a season. But if the shock improved
ride quality even for cruising/touring, then maybe.....
Anyone able to push me? Seriously, anyone with any experience with putting the
Ohlins shock on. I don't want to make the suspension too rigid for normal
touring duty for one year of track riding with it.
