I have the opportunity to buy a used set of RG3, 20mm offset triple clamps and a Pro Circuit Link for my '07 KX450F. Is anyone here running this combination and if so, please tell me what you think.
Or if you are running just one of these products, please let me know what you feel it did for you.

How much are they selling you the PC link for? I have one for sale as well, I only used it about 6-8 races, pretty new.

i had the link and ended up taking it off.mb1 revalve and stock link was way better.ive found running the forks up in the clamps quite a bit and shortening the wheelbase has helped mine a ton and im really very happy with the way it works.i would say if you could get it for cheap and just wanted to try it to go ahead.i just bought an 07 kx 250f and cant believe how much better i like the 450.even in the corners and the weight of the 250 didnt do much for me.i feel once you find the sweet spot on these 450's there hard to beat.ive had all the 450's except the yamaha and this kawi just flat works on the track.oh ya,the 250 is for sale,maybe one hour on it, basically new bike,bought new 9-26-07,black excels,should have the title in a couple weeks.

I have the 20mm offset clamps on my 07 and I love them. The bike turns tighter, but is still stable at high speed. I have a 250F as well and the 450(besides the weight) turns just as easy. I have not riden a 450 that can find the inside line as easy as mine. I have crashed a couple times hard and never had to fix anything, everything stays straight. They are not cheap, but easly the best clamps I've used.

Thank you! That's what I had hoped to hear.
Now I wonder if I could get the same effect by dropping the fork tubes in the clamps from 5mm (stock) to 12mm as recommended by several people here?

What I found when trying move the forks around is that you lose stability at high speeds, or the other way the bike will not turn. With the clamps you get best of both worlds. I run mine at 10mm with a narrow front tire, 80 instead of 90. It works awesome.
