cheap all over ebay..check for the gsxr ones,tlr's,and the 04+ R1 dampers..has anyone had a problem blowing a seal with too heavy weight of fluid?

martino

that true man. time will tell, I got about 10 hours of riding on mine, and its been strong so far

I dunno about you all, but I love my heavy damper for circles, just for the fact that when it comes down the bars dont tweak out of control and spur the throttle.

the other question is that theres different seals that are made for different types of fluids, ie- a seal made for trans fluid will swell if you put brake fluid on it, and vice versa. Time will tell if the seals hold up chemically

how similar is the stock suzuki damper to the top mount hyperpro? I could buy a f4 hyperpro mount for cheap...

martino

still holdin up

now that is a rig job there. as long as it works and the price is right. cheap and easy...how i like my women

Wheeliest

damn thats some sweet riggn, ima do that to the r6 real soon, is it noticable with just stock fluid in it to?

DoodleF4i

a little bit but i dunno if its worth the trouble rigging up if u dont change the fluid

Wheeliest

what are the fluid options?

martino

its worthless with the stock fluid.. its like its not even there.

Its still kickin, as good as the day I hooked it up

a heavy damper is prolly the best stunt mod Ive done.. Im real REAL happy with it..

the thing i like the most about a heavy damper is the confidence it gives you when your practicing circles, you know its gonna come down nice and sweet

i have a stock gixx one layin around... how did u mount it to the tripple.. can u post a few more pics.. i would wanna put it on the lower triple

U can use thick wt motor oil or gear -oil. I have two dampers on my bike, 80w-90 gear oil in my top damper and stock fluid in bottom. top one is serious buisness, i use it mostly

martino

a good strong bracket, youd be surprised how strong its gotta be for a heavily set damper.

crtchrktrcr

hmm.. i got some time on my hands until i heal.. i might do that

f4rider

this thread deserves a bump

martino

thanks homie, i hope people try it, i cant imagine riding without it

I'll be getting a stock damper for free today or tomorrow. I couldn't figure out how i would mount it until I saw the picture of your setup. That mount is a very good idea, but i think i have an idea for an improoved mount. I'm going to mount the piston to the bottom of the piece that you mounted it to so that it will be about an inch lower (this will involve welding a little plate to the bottom of clamp to make it flat). Then i will bolt a small piece of flat stock to the tank to bridge the gap where the ram air duct goes in. I will then mount the body of the damper to that piece. Because of the direction of the forces, this setup can be made much lighter and still be rigid.

And what should i use for oil? I don't want it to be very stiff, but yet i want it to prevent wobbles in endos. Would 20w fork oil be the best?
