anyone with a steering dampener, i would like to know the kind and if you got installed or did it yourself.

 

Stock, but I put 5w fork oil to stiffen it up a little.

 

That is for my gixxer though. Didn't see the f4i part until after i posted.

 

hyper pro, installed very easily. had a scotts and didn't like it. also installed easily.

 

ohlins is easy. works like a champ

 

I've got a Mantis, which I purchaced through Two Brothers. It's a top mount, just like the Hyper Pro but a little better quality if ya ask me. Simple to install, $425 new and I'm selling it for $300 if anyone wants it. I want a Scotts!

 

I have 2 brand new Daytona Dampners for $200 each they're cheap and work as good as the rest. email if interested 5thgear@telus.net

 

I have put the harris bracket that mounts it real trick. It works with your standard (sd121) ohlins dampner that goes on alot of bikes. I use mine for the 1k too, with a different harris bracket. You can buy the brackets at Indysuperbikes.com

nessssssssssssssssssss

 

Scotts is the best. Ohlins and Scotts are made from the same factory. People sell just the damper without the mounting kit on E-bay for like $350 - $400 but you can get them new online with mounting kit for the same price. I just got my Scotts in and I love it. It's the easiest to adjust on the fly cause it sits on the triple clamp stem nut, it's hella' adjustable, and super smooth. Also because of it's location, it doesn't get messed up when you reck and it doesn't interfere with any stunts. It's a little on the pricey side but like I said, you can resell that thing on E-bay for more than you bought it for when you are done. I love it.

 

Sorry, in reference to the previous post, the Ohlins and Scotts come from the same factory assembly line but the Ohlins are sold for a higher price for some reason.

 

It also only takes about 15 minutes to mount, only 1 minute to remove, and if you want to swap it from bike to bike you only need to purchase the mounting bracket for your other bikes and you can change it in a minute or so. Fork mounts take forever and are a b*tch to remove and swap.

 

don't do it

 

have you heard of sprint dampeners?
