Big Tank / Steering Damper

Post by W@zzA »

Has anyone fitted a Harris ally tank? who else makes bigger tanks? does anyone make 916 style steering damper fitting kits?

Fantastic site Lads I'm hooked after 1 day!

i've fitted an Hyperpro steering damper. it' give a fantastic result an it's essential to :
-high speed turn
- long wheelies
- rolling stoppies.

In spite of the initial cost, it's not very expensive compare to an accident...

don't know the result of an 916 one. but be sure it's usefull!

Got an Ohlins damper but couldnt find any one who made a 916 style across the headstock fitting kit. The only way Ive found to fit it is on the right fork leg with the adjuster appearing on the right side of the fairing. The damper works well on the track (A bit irrelevant on the road) but I would prefer the 916 style mounting bracket partly for looks but mainly because it would be easier to adjust the damper.

My damper (an hyperpro) is fitted horizontaly between the "handelbar" and the tank. there is a "stem" (a leg of metal) fixing on the 2 front screw of the tank. it's fiited like 748 ducati or suzuki TLs1000. good for the look and very easy to adjust the damper. if you already have a damper, you can just bought the fixing kit (hyperpro) and may be it could be adapted to yours. You just have to ask the measurement to the manufacturer.
expecting you'll manage to fix your damper, have fun!
