I tried a lot of those same things except for the Interstate triple clamps. Yes, it is much more stable in corners, yes, I can ride them faster. The ride thing feels like the sharp edges on bumps have now been rounded off. It rode like an old one ton pickup to me, now it feels more like a newer F-150 King Ranch. I also own some ST1300s which have always ridden smoother and handled better than the Valks. The new suspension makes the Valk handle as well as or better than the ST and almost equals the ride quality. :cooldude:

yep using 7.5 wt fork oil did that for me.
Tried that.
98valk:
is that an I/S or std/tourer?
Valker:
Mine is a 98 Tourer.

reducing the trail number via the I/S triple clamps, smaller 130/90-17 and taller C/T 205/65-16 great enhanced the responsiveness, of the bike. reducing the trail number makes the biggest difference.
I've been around a while and have never heard that there are differences between the IS triple clamps and those of the Standard and Tourer. They appear to have different part numbers, but Grok says the rake and trail are the same. What am I missing? TIA

yes rake and trail are the same. the I/S clamp has 1/32 more offset than the std/tourer clamps. So then Honda changed the fork stem rake of the I/S to make the trail the same. All due to the fairing weight on the I/S. Service manual does list the different numbers btwn both
