I have to agree with Dave, the best money spent at a new racer level will be on technique and understanding the dynamics of your bike, and you.
Spend your $300+ dollars on a race school such as Code, Spencer or the like. It will save you so much time and money to have someone critique your riding, break you of habits that slow you down and most of all, give you the knowledge to build your skills on.
Buying trick parts are great but, you will definitely see the benefit of improved skill. You will also notice the subtle differences of adding these parts when you start to conquer the demons that slow you down.
Good luck! Don't forget the PC III USB!

The biggest difference was feel. You can feel exactly what the front tire is doing. You can ask Jason D'Amico or Mark or Mehgan Stiles what they think of the front end. Easier and lighter than going to USD forks. The stock clamps are wimpy. The Attack clamps are huge in comparison. They are adjustable but I had them set at the stock offset.

So because they are billet aluminum, they are stronger and more rigid allowing more feel?

Maybe I'll have Gans engineering turn me a set of clamps. I'm sure he'll laugh at me. He spun a set for his CB750RR and has who knows how much time into those things.

Not because they are billet, but because they are larger than the stock ones, especially the bottom one. Stock has one bolt each side, Attack has 3 (titanium) bolts each side. Making them from aluminum, but the same size as stock would not accomplish anything. Next time you see pictures of superbikes or gp bikes take a look at the lower triple clamp. Of course this is assuming that the steering head area of the frame is strong enough to take advantage of the stronger triple clamps. When I looked at the 2003 SV frame and clamps (and after speaking to people who raced the earlier model SV and looking at Ed Keys supersport SV), the lower triple clamp was the weakness of the front end, not the forks.

Don't those mods make it illegal for SS?(triples and brembo)
I haven't read over the lw ss rulebook yet, so if I'm wrong slap me and call me stupid

Since you are new to racing I would worry more about my riding than making any changes to the bike.

That being said, on my 03 SV, the best changes I made to the bike (after suspension) were Attack triple clamps (~$700), a Brembo radial front master cylinder (~$180) with Carbon Lorrain pads, and general weight loss (350 lbs with about a half tank of gas).
