Improves stability at high speeds; great for the track and stunting!!!

How much are you asking and when will you have more plain black ones in?

Out of curiosity, how does this improve stability?

Have you thought about putting the hornet logo from the bar clamp on the master cyl. cover? That would look sweet!

Thanks for the warm welcome guys!!! I like the idea for the hornet on the front master...I pass along the info!

Should have more plain black ones in a month or so.

Regarding the comment about stablility:

We had one of our test riders use it for a track day and noticed a little more stability (less flex) through out the whole track day (about one hour of hard core riding).

If you ever took your 599 to couple track days, you have gone through the experience of re-tightening a lot of nuts and bolts in the triple, bar clamp, and other misc. parts.

We noticed we did not have to re-tighten the bar clamp. I am not saying you never need to, but maybe after four or five track days you may.

This all relates to how hard you ride of course, I never need to re-tighten my 599 bolts and clamps till maybe after one month of hard riding.

In my personal opinion, I think the oem 599 suspension has a lot to do why the chassis takes so much of the energy, I almost crashed a couple times in some chicanes because of that. A custom Penske rear shock helped a lot and a steering damper is something I am looking forward to add.

That will not increase stability. It will only increase the weight by a few grams. Cool logo though.

Holy thread resurrection, Batman!

But still, +1. Bullshit on the additional stability.

I have to ask the same question. it still clamps the bars in the exact way as the OEM
item! so what is it doing to add to stability? and if your bolts are coming loose you should torque them properly and use thread lock!

Not sure how that would improve stability! Not much give in the stock clamp. If it gives you good feedback/feel, more power 2 U.
