Gsxr damper mod on stock f4i frontend
2 - L brackets and drilled to fit.
1 - Spacer
1 - Broken upper to cut the end clamp off. lol
Its sweet but I think imma up the weight to 20? I want it a little stiffer. Doesnt get in the way of anything.

Thanks everybody I appreciate the compliments, I had a couple of other posts on here with some other ways to pull it off but they were way to ghetto. I have recently been laid off so I was sitting in the garage lookin down at a triple and it hit me!!!!

Ah so you took a junked tripple, cut it and stole the ring, genius. I think I have a broken tripple last year but I must have thrown it out. I don't care I will get a used tripple just for this I have been wanting a damper forever now. I wonder if this would work with a Shindy damper? They look similar to the Gixxer one.

you can attach it to the factory lower tripple, that's how I've seen other people do it, and until I looked at the pic again, I thought thats how he did it!

No thanks Ive done that before I just didnt want any mods to the existing triples, such as that bolt loosening, causing any damage to the fork tube.

HO-hey makes a setup you can buy to mount a gsxr damper on a f4i with a 929 front end, thats exactly how he did it
ahhhh ya that changes things
I don't think I can fit one in there FF easily, so I'm going to personally build a bracket and mount mine up by the gas tank..
Someone posted it up on stuntlife a setup like that a loong time ago.. But I lost the link

Re: Gsxr damper mod on stock f4i frontend
After seeing Talen's setup usiing a cut up triple clamp, got some ideas turning in my head...
I think it might be tight to do a side mount, and use a cut triple so it attaches where his attaches (between the triple) if that makes sense?
Then it would be completely out of the way
btw heres the thread
