What do you 929 owners use?

I am looking to get one but really want a steering damper, i have never run a bike for long without one..... What (If any) do you have on your 929?

Re: What do you 929 owners use?

I have a 954 and have had 5 different stabilizers. not judging or hating but these are my personal experiences...

Hyperpro- descent but started leaking after 1 month
Extremetech- ****** garbage, one stoppie and the thing popped off!!!!
Scotts- very good, easy to mount works great, but heard stories of failure
Daytona (cheapo) worked actually quite well, but weakened over time
Storz tank mount (current) BULLETPROOF, I love this thing SOOOO MUCH


If I had the cash, I would go for Ohlins- that is basically the best of the best.

i run Toby as well, the only down fall is if you break the bracket that connects from the stem nut a replacement is impossible to find. at least for me it is...

Re: What do you 929 owners use?

hmm..are you talking about a windscreen brace or damper?

i'm running a toby and it works great. i had a scott's on there, which worked good but the mounting kit for scotts it garbage. it has little set screws that hold the main nut on, they are like 3mm and strip out really easily. I tightened my steering head back to spec every weekend and taking the scotts off to do that was a bioch and i eventually stripped those screws completely out and got the scotts stuck on my bike.

Binder..ur a retard

I've never had a prob with the Scotts...It's been through a bit. I liked it but for endos I did'nt like the slight play it has in it.

I run a Sprint now. The bracket that goes on the stem is TOTAL garbage. The 1st time down it rotated 1/4 inch, but I fixed that. . The damper itself is very nice.
