I see HOHEY is making a bracket for f4i's with 929/954 forks. The bracket allows you to use a OEM gsxr damper that bolts where the gsxr ones mount. And they tell you to use 20wt oil in the stock damper and your set. Has anyone tried this setup? Wondering how it works before i sell my scotts and go this route. Cause i cant use my scotts with my DB bars so this would cost like $100 and its ebtter then nothing like i am now. Any word on quality or anything?????

You can run a dirt bike style damper and the adjustment sits to the side...i know gpr makes em for KTM's

yea i looked into them and there a ton of money. If i did that then i would buy these brackets and a Ohlins damper. Im a stunter on a budget bro.

everything hohey makes is high quality , I got a gix damper on my f4i w/ f4i forks and it works real good, only thing that sucks is you cant adjust it.

u could also just get bigger risers like T neck to fit the scotts..but ho hey is my dawg and i got one of his brackets, they are dope

Im not really worried about it being adjustible, i never adjust my scotts, it stayed all the way loose actually, i just keep it to where it works. Especially if i put in 20/30/40/50 wt. oil in im sure ill find a good weight oil i like. Im just making sure this works really good before i sell my scotts for a "rigged" up set-up ya know.

if I had 954 front end I would definatly use the hohey brackets,I got the hohey DC and rearsets and both are top notch

hohey def makes good quality products...ive had 2 of his brackets and theres no complaints.

yea, from what iv seen there stuff is deff. good, im just wondering how well that set up works. If fitment is good and clears everything.

I've got 20wt in mine and it is equivalent to a 6-8 setting on a GPR/Scotts. I've had a few stoppie occasions where it would have tank slapped but its saved me every time. I'd say try 20wt and go from there

*Tanus*

I got 60w in mine, I can barly turn the bars at a dead stop,but it does stoppie very nicely

if you get a tank slap in a stoppie then its nowhere near a 6-8 on a GPR, maybe a 2-4 on a GPR if that

Stubbz

if you leave your scotts loose all the time then you probly dont need the aftermarket dampener period, cuz all the way loose wont really do too much at all, you'll probly be fine with a stock style dampener, most guys that run aftermarket dampeners run them so they can stiffen them up for doin high stoppies

exactely, thats why im not worried about how the damper works, but i am gonna start rollin stoppies so im deff. gonna run 20/30wt oil in it. But does anyone HAVE thoes brackets??? Got some close up pics??

i had 40 in mine and it wasnt enough. I have 75 in it now which is perfect for warm weather but too stiff when its freezing out. think i might go back to 40 for th rest of winter.
