I am looking to fit a steering damper to my SR500 - is there an off the shelf option or will I have to modify one?

I'm trying to fit one to my racer and couldn't find any fitting kits. I've bought a cheap new damper off eBay for $45 and buying a 35 mm fork clamp $30 from a UK accessory store www.mandp.com. Their postage is astronomical so I'm getting someone in the UK to post it to me instead. I haven't worked out the frame mounting yet but if anyone has suggestions, I would be interested too. I suspect a steel bracket will need to be attached to the frame downtube. |

Hi, Try Deus or Vanem...the Japanese certainly would have kits I reckon. Probably from Daytona. I am going to mount mine under a front fairing bracket, across the front of the bike. I still have a Hyperpro damper left over from my SP1 Honda...hopefully I can make it suit the SR somehow. The old replica Kawasaki types are commonplace and easily fitted, and adjustable; the bolt hole under the lower triple clamp already exists as I recall. You could mount it to the front downtube. I have seen guys use car exhaust clamps as the frame mount on the downtube...I wouldn't do this personally as I prefer to make my own mounts....but it can be easily done...  See how you go... SR  |

The kits are available complete with all the fitting hardware and dampner, the kits we will have in the 3rd-4th week of January are made just for the SR, just bolts on.... By the looks of it they have a Showa dampner?  |
