Hi,

i ride a FZS 600 Fazer (European Model wasn't available in the States),

i want to install a steering damper for the stopies and to stabalize while doing stuff like a christ etc. The standard way of instaling it on my bike would be just behind the forks on the left hand side of the bike. If i would install it like that i'd probably f**k it up with the first crash....and i don't want to pay 100$ everytime it happens, if possible.

So here's my question:

How did you guys install them on yours? I'll have to improvise something and maybe drill some holes, I'm basicaly looking for some pictures or something so i can get a rough idea of how to do it.

Thanks...

 

i assume this is a yamaha with no fairings and dirt bike style bars not clipons..??

 

maybe do some thing like this



or this

 

or this

 

Thanks



This is the newest picture of my bike at the moment... looks a bit different now but the basic setup is the same.

I see u run stock dampers are you satisfied with them? Alot of people here in germany said i should get an LSL aftermarket damper, wich are very expensive.

Im not sure if your setups will work with my lower forkbridge <-- is that right?? but i'll chekc it out and maybe i'll have to weld a little thanks

 

any damper is better than nothing, and you can pickup those stock gsxr dampers all day cheap because guys are pulling them off and replacing them with Scotts, GPR's etc.

The second pic looks like a shindy damper though... pretty sure it mounts with the fairing stay bolts

 

the second one was this but i think you missed it i made the mounts

 

That's some nice work on those brackets OMR

 

thanks ,i just thru it together fast because i wanted to do stoppies that night and it worked so well that i left it ....

i also put thicker oil in the damper

 

thats a daytona dampner?? wut weight oil did u put in it?

 

i think it's a daytona ,and i put 95/140 gear oil in it but #15 fork oil is actually thicker so i might try that next

 

hows that dampner work? i was plottin on gettin one but didnt know how good they were..

 

it's no gpr or scotts but it works ....and it was free,i think i spent $ 3.50 on the gear lube

 

so gpr or scotts is the way to go?

 

yea or ohlins

 

alright..

 

I meant the one on the F4i looks like a shindy

 

Hey OMR great omprovisation thats probably the way I'll have to go....thanks a lot
