ok, so chris are you saying that you think that the calmini arms should or should not be used. Phone conversation with Matt indicated that he thinks there is no real difference wih the stock v calmini arms and thus not really needed. I gather the only real benefits gained are an easier alingnment and maybe a little travel added, but I don't really need to find any extra susp travel. Ultimately then, which method puts the less stress on the rest of the suspension; calmini+tbar or just tbar crank?

I think that my solution is going to be to just add the 912's in back and crank the tbars and get an alignment. This way, restoration to stock is easy if I do run into any problems of any sort or if I have anything that needs to be addressed under warranty (lots left)
