I have yet to clutch up a stoppie.

I figured that would be the only way. Thanks alot!

I can't bring myself to do the flipped flopped upside down rotated clipon thing... And I also dont like the idea of lowering my front end for stoppies

Balance point on this stock front end with stock clipons is wayyyy up there though

Thats what youd think untill you try them, i hated them at first, didn't like them on top and then i stole teach's idea and put them back under the triple and love them, kinda like stock but way wider and nicer, next time i see you i will let you ride them and you can see for yourself what the hype is all aboot........

Re: Damper Experience
Got a hyperpro on each bike.....RSC on the 954 and CSC on the 600RR.....I like the RSC better....gonna rebleed both of em with a lil heavier weight oil when winter finally takes over and I can't ride.

As far as the flipped clip-ons....I like it better, but I think I may go back below the triples, but still flipped, because the front tire is rubbing my radiator on my 600RR with an 05 1000RR front end and woodcraft clip-ons flipped and swapped on top the triple.

Re: Damper Experience
how are you guys bleeding the new hyperpros and the ohlins? they are nitrogen charged.

NME, you're hte first i've heard with any slop in an ohlins. they are usually super tight because of the nitro charge.

u can do that with gpr also...and they work better. my scotts was garbage....apparently it had something broken inside of it because it didn't help my tank slap that turned into a broken hip. threw that **** to the CURB after that.

Re: Damper Experience
Well Scotts rebuilt mine twice in the last few months and it seems to work ok... I just wish it would go tighter...All the way tight really isn't that tight at all.
