Here are the part number I ordered to rebuild the guts of the forks:

2 - 45859-77A Damper tube seal
2 - 45842-77A Retaining ring for oil seals
2 - 45866-84 Slider bushing
2 - 45940-84 Fork tube bushing
2 - 45405-75A Screw with washer for damper tube
2 - 45858-77 Drain screws

Some of that stuff can be reused if you are careful, but really it is just a couple bucks to have them in case you mess something up.

From what I can tell, the 09 fairing bikes also have the drilled damper tubes due to the fact that that model has a damping valve. Ricor and RaceTech both make these replacement valves which are adjustable. The holes in the damper tube are there to render the damper tube inoperative. The non fairing Touring bikes do not have the valve and therefore have functioning damper tubes without the holes predrilled.

Also, it might be cleaner if you take out your drain plugs and let the bike sit and drain before you start disassembly. No biggie either way on that, just a suggestion if you have the time.

When my bike is back together, I will post a review of the CCE product.

Will be following the CCE progress. I installed an alloy art rear brace, and recently installed the GlidePro 70durometer black bushing kit and still have high speed wobbles. Might have to go with the CCE clamp next year to cure the bike. The Glidepro did improve things up to about 80mph, but it was not the magic single part to fix the problem.

Jefla feel free to use this thread if you wish for your build. If you do another thread please post it up here.

I for one would like to see this thread grow with all the different set ups that can be used with the CCE Triple.

I'm sure this has been mentioned elsewhere, but the cure to the wobble has many faces. Here are the things you need to fix or be aware of:

1. Tire condition.
2. Bike alignment
3. Steering head/fall away adjustment
4. Condition of the bushing for the swingarm

Now for the add ons:

5. Beef up rear shocks to quality units like JRI, Bitubo, Ohlins, etc.
6. Add quality internals to front forks like Racetech springs, Traxxion, etc.
7. CCE triple tree
8. Maybe a bagger brace of some kind. It would be the last thing I added after doing all the above. My personal opinion is that is masks the issues above, but that it is a bandaid. That is not to say that it doesn't work, because MANY have reported it has cured the issues. Many others have report the opposite.
9. This might be the hardest to fix and explain. There are apparently certain types of riding styles which contribute to the wobble. I have seen various opinions on this, but you will have to do your own research as I don't have the answers.

If you can get hold of Traxxion's install instructions, their spacer measurement method got me within 1/8" first try.

I cheated and got my local indy to rebuild my fork legs, changing the seals and bushes at the same time. To cut the spacer use a proper pipe cutter, so the cut ends are square - don't risk using a hacksaw! Otherwise it really is very simple.

I've cut a bunch of PVC using my "10 electric miter box. E.G., http://popular.ebay.com/home-improve...-miter-saw.htm. Square and very clean. It's how I made my fork seal installer. Any reason not to use it for this project?

MCVDOM -- what do you think?
