Not internet connection at the little track. Will update as I can.

Well it was a rough day - at least for me. I had a bad crash - not on the 1190 thankfully, but on Shawns DSB 1125. dislocated my pinky. and am pretty banged up. Wont' be racing this weekend. I'll post details later.

Had difficulty getting the 1190 setup right. The Streets of Willow is a very tight track. But more than that, it's a very rough track and the Ohlis are just not valved correctly for the very hight amplitude transients.
So we made the decision to swap the forks with his DSB, bike which have years of set up and experience in them.
A radical move, but the right one I think, given how little time we have.
Shawn loves the power and lightness of the bike. and if we can get the confidence in the front end that he is used to, we expect a great result.
More latter.

Swapping the forks was a good move on short development time...but did you have to give up the brake duct in doing so? Or do the DSB forks have the mounting provisions?

Good luck, can't wait to hear some race results! And type gently with that broken pinky ; )

> do the DSB forks have the mounting provisions?

The DSB-Spec is purely related to motor. It's a high-compression stock 1125r motor, usually known as a "superstock" build.

I suspect they swapped the forks and front wheel.
