Has anyone figured out a way to run a Scotts or GPR damper along with dirtbike bars on a 954?

It looks to me as if the risers (that I purchased from FI) would get in the way, and that the body of the damper would hit the risers.

Am I stuck with a piston-style damper, like an Ohlins?

Thanks.

i think full throttle makes a riser/tripple that works with Scotts..

but it's pricey

 

yep, fullthrottleinc.com is the only place you can buy that set up, or make it ur self... - Bill at FullThrottleinc is the man tho, he will hook you up with the best stuff!

 

scotts makes a custom billet one too... $$$$

 

full thottle makes the setup or just got with a hyperpro that runs on the front of the forks and when you coming back to the stl i missed the last time yo where here to got out and party

 

full throttle makes the setup or just go with the hypro pro that mounts in front of the forks, and when you coming back to stl i missed the last time you came here to go out..........the real party dont start till i am there

 

don't do it.....trust me....i had the custom triple made for the GPR.....crazy tall risers, had him make me some new risers and got a hyperpro....SOOOOOO much better now!!!

 

yeah do the hyperpro set up..their bad *** dampers anyway..and the risers to fit scotts or gpr makes it feel like you have ape hangers

 

Thanks for the responses. I'm definitely going with the Hyperpro set-up.

I'm picking up the 954 this afternoon, and already have a cage, db bars/risers, chain/sprockets and dented gas tank all ready to go. As soon as the weather gets back above 50, I'm gonna be out killin this *****.

Keith - I'll be back up for the C&I 5 premier fo sho, but if I make my way up there sooner, I'll be sure to hit you up 'bro!

only problem with the hyperpro, when you turn sharp the d.b. bars hit the damper.

 

Might that be a problem in a wreck???

Jason, heres something to ponder......... I know Hoenshell runs a similiar setup on his gsxr.........


check it out:

 

rc5i upper triple cause they are flat and put the risers father apart so you can fit the dampner on

 

put the risers farther forward on the triple and the hyperpro shouldn't hit.......mine barely touches at all when the bars are full lock to the right....and doens't touch at all to the left.

 

looks like they still go higher than normal risers though.

 

those risers are as tall as the ones that were on my bike.............trust me, hyperpro damper and normal risers... mount them as far forward on your triple as possible(so it won't hit the bars on the damper).....you're golden

 

Got a nice Ohlins from a buddy for $250 and bolted that up without any problems.


Thanks for the input though.
