Depends on what you are trying to do. I don't believe it is possible to make any Triton handle as positively as a standard Manx. If I was trying to get more feel out of a Triton, I'd start with slightly longer staunchions, and start modifying them and testing the handling on a circuit. There is not much worse that a Triton with a harsh power band, which has that vague feeling to it at high speed in corners. I've only ever ridden one original 500cc Manx, it felt positive and slightly tightened it's line in corner. It was much better that the two Tritons I've ridden. If you got off line with the manx, it was usually safe to simply give it more to drive it harder - inspired confidence .
