NEW DAMPER AND BRAKE KIT

[Crash Dummy Denno]

after lots of looking and talking to anyone that would listen - i went with a sprint steering damper www.sprintdampers.co.uk

reasons - lots of positive reviews and feedback, (the english people love em) sponsor of R6 cup, PRICE, quick shipping and availability Hammy The Can Man - a great seller

i can't wait to go over the hill at four now!

i also picked up Galfer brake lines and pad kit - I'm excited

anyone else got any experience with these? brake or damper-

it's a shame about that red windscreen

Don't worry, when the Hyperpro damper leaks (and it will) it will squirt oil all over the windscreen and he'll replace it with a new chrome one.

I just got my new damper today. For those that have the 02+ RC51 they will know the biggest issue is the fairing stay which is the key mounting a linear damper over the triple. The damper itself in this kit is secondary. If it works good then sweet. If not then we mount up an ohlins

huh? so you got a sprint or ohlins?

Neither. They dont make the mounting kit anymore for my bike. The combo is a Harris mount system with a Gubellini damper. If I were to but a bracket for the ohlins damper I could mount that up just as easy but I want to see if this works first.

well good luck then - maybe you should upgrade to something newer - maybe with some better suspension

Not exactly If I were to do anything Id save up for some Ohlins FG 670 Superbike forks.

I used a sprint damper on my 125 racebike. I only had one season on it, but it did it's job with no failures. If you need parts, rising sun cycles is a dealer for sprint.

Is that...like...a real date?

i've got a sprint damper on my race bike, i like it...it does its job fairly well. It doesn't go as tight as i think i'd like but its better than nothing.

I still got into a bad tankslapper w/ it, so just remember it isn't fail-safe.

I got it through street and comp for like $300 or somethin, i forget

I have the superbike valving in mine, ask Peter. he installed them.

The FG 670s are the current race forks that are nitrogen charged. I think Peter told me they sell for about 12k.

The other piece I was talking about isnt just the valving. Its the fork cartridge kit. Pretty much the entire internal setup. Should be just a drop in application but my forks might need some mods to them to fit up properly.

nah its cool man - i got a slipper clutch and a damper so the bike is fail safe- the bike practically will ride itself now - next purchase auto pilot
