Does anyone know who makes the best steering damper?????? I got a brand new GPR like 2 months ago and the piece of **** exploded on me. 2 of my friends had problems with the gpr also, so I was wondering if anyone new of a tough one.

 

i had a old hypro and i have a scotts
i go with scotts thats just my 2cents

 

SCOTT'S is second to none.

I've heard of hyper leaking alot.

 

and last imo. ohlins is good.

 

it's a lot of money, but OHLINS! they're freaking awesome, and i only know of one that leaked, out of like 40 people that have them. and his had like 25,000miles on it.
the Scotts damper is actually made be Ohlins, and stamped by Scotts for the North American market. and it's actually meant for dirt bikes, though i've seen a lot of guys with it on street bikes. i talked to a rep from Ohlins about it, and he says they work on street bikes, though not as well as a top mount Ohlins, since they're for dirt bikes. Arrow is also really good, but again big dollasssss

 

call GPR let them know about it. lots of big names like them. I'm running stock and a ICS damper on top, work pretty good

 

im runnin an ohlins on my gix and i've never had a problem, btw u ever roll to the ontario spot? i've rode with some of the 5150 guys but i never really talk to any of em

 

i got a scotts on my 954..... well i had one till it got stolen and i loved it, HOWEVER advise from a few pros told me that doing high speed stoppies and highway wheelies... if ya get a bad tank slapper.. it will actually snap the lil tab off from teh mounting hardware which makes sense. so im lookin for a shaft style damper like a hypro or a ohlins

 

ohlins 100%

 

love my ohlins...on third bike...no leaks...just need a top mount for it

 

gpr has a life time warrenty, send it back and get the to toughen it up for ya,i haven't had a problem with it, i know j britton and darius have them.

 

u got a pic of that bolt set-up with yours?

 

hmm.....ya, i know some guys that use them love them. i bought a scotts cause that's what everyone recommended and a couple hard 12 crashes and now mine blew out. i loved it before then but i found that rotory like gpr and scotts have more play in them than rod type dampers. I loved my scotts but i hate the mounting hardware, the little screws strip out really easily which makes it hard to remove if you have to tighten your steering head. i think i might switch to hyperpro, but the drawback on that is that i can't use my mirror brace with the top mount hyperpro. either way, hard decision.

 

Iv'e had scott's and gpr's both junk.
Ohlins is good.I have a top mount storz.
Had to change out the oil but its a nice product

 

sort of it was kinda dark so the flash was bright and it is a shitty camera i will try to get a better pic then this one

 

i told you ohlins trust me


even ask rick he has rode a hyperpro for years he rode my bike once with my ohlins and wants one

 

i think darius has a ohlins now

 

hook a cornfed homey up then! haha

and still no luck on that motor. almost had one, but the dude wanted like a grand.

 

 

does it just thread through the bracket and rest in the slot in the triple? so basically it just takes place of the gay *** pin that comes in it. i cant really make it out in that pic.
