Re: Where to find dampners!

ok guys this flaming needs to stop.......you both have good points and i respect them.....maybe its time to agree to disagree.......i hate being the bad guy but midwest mayhem asked a question and i think it has been answered......the finger pointing needs to stop.....this thread has been jacked and i dont think mayhem appreciates it......ok that being said i will put in my ......i prefer piston dampners.....i have had both scotts and gpr and i didnt like either of them........i have a hyperpro now and i love it.....its easy to adjust and it doesnt bend when it hits the ground FHL......maybe if you have like a 87 hurricane.......and it mounts on the side.....i have highsided my race bike at 130 and watched the thing do 30 summer saults and the thing was perfect.......

Re: Where to find dampners!

thanks i think i'm going with a hyperpro top mount damper it seems like the bang for your buck deal, but how do you know if a used one is still good?
the new ones are crazy high prices but thanks for the advice

put that sucker on and tighten it real tight and turn the bars to see if it is stiff.......then adjust to the setting that you like........ .......great choice you will like that dampner

Re: Where to find dampners!

mainly for long stoppies after the 150 ft. mark it's hard without a damper, too many headshakes for me come close more than a few times this should help i hope.
