What damper do you guys recomend that is relatively stiff to keep the front under control during stoppies. Thanks

 

i have heard scott is about the best you can get. i need one for stoppies bad. tankslap is a btch.

 

i just got an ohlins but i havnt really rode with it yet, i'll try it today tho and get back

 

scott or hyperpro.

i run scott, but both are awsome

 

i need a damper my 929's don't even have one from the factory

 

...i dig my Scotts. Saved my *** more times than i can count.

 

I've never had one, but then again, I don't roll serious endo's yet...can't wait til next summer, I'll hopefully have a job after I graduate and I'll buy one.

 

ohlins or hyperpro

rod typeis what the pros use, i can't think of many that use scotts....

 

I rock the Scotts......I had an Ohlins first, and I kept on breaking the top mount brackets. Scotts are nice and compact, and work great! Joe

 

Yo KC, where do you live in KC? You have a link to midweststunters on your post, do you know Brian or Dan. If you are lookin to meetup with some people pm me or just post somthing! I have seen your posts before but I never knew you were from KC! let me know what is up, Its cool to find new people to ride with. Maybe you can meet up with us to stunt, who knows, later

 

You've been a member on this site for 5 months, have almost 600 posts. In this time you've never read any of the hundreds of posts about this? I'd bet there's a post almost identical to yours thats less than a week old.

 

I've heard Hyperpro's are no good....they tend to have leaking problems. Hyperpro admitted that there dampers have a problem.

If you want a good piston style, get a Ohlins.

 

I know I'm lazy.

 

Yeah Ive pretty much narrowed it down to the Ohlins but i cant seem to find them anywhere. Everyone carries the Toby dampers but not the Ohlins.

 

check ebay...I got my ohlins with the mounting kit for $250 (buy it now). I think the MSRP is like 375 for my bike.

If you can't find any on ebay check out www.kneedraggers.com
they usually have good prices.

 

Thanks

 

rod types work well, I had a toby (it was cheap) and it worked great until i crashed and bent the **** out of it. My buddy has the scotts on his 929 and he loves it. They are nice and compact, adjustible, and they will work on almost any bike or quad. Little pricy, but my next damper is gonna be a scotts.

 

GPR dampners are pretty tight. They are guarenteed, Cool people to work with and I've had both Scotts and GPR and the Scotts exploded on me after after putting down a wheelie. I've used a GPR for 2yrs and not one problem. Track and Stunting. Also they come in all the Frickin colors to match the bike or what not.

HEY, HAVE ANY OF YOU GUYS HEARD OF WHITE POWER DAMPERS. I JUST GOT ONE BUT I THINK IT MIGHT BE FROM OVERSEAS. GOT IT OFF THE R1 FORUM.

 

Ya, I've heard of White Power. Dig their pointy hats, but the bed sheet makes em look like a ghost on Holloween!
