Ohlines Stearing damper
10/19/09 10:20 PM

Does anyone know if one of these babies is available for the 14? I see they make them for the 10 but I do not see one listed for the 14.

Yes, I have an ohilns/scotts rotary damper for my bike. Beautiful piece, and best in the business as far as i am concerned, but you have to drill the frame to mount it.

Glad you've joined us, Lyle. Your reputation certainly precedes you. If you would like to post a message about your your ZX-10 fender brackets in the For Sale section, I'll make it sticky, as I know there is a lot of interest in these.

Hi, dub...how great to hear from you.

I see the Scotts damper that goes over the steering stem. Looks sort of like a fat, gold hockey puck. I prefer the look of the double oil tube damper. I see they are on sale now at Hard Racing but there isn't one for the 14.

Muzzy sells a tube damper for the 14. It's a silver Ohline's damper with Ohlines logo that is packaged by Muzzy. It's over $600 and I can't see spending that now. Ohline's dampers for the ZX-10 cost around $300. I guess it's just a case of supply and demand. They aren't in production to be fitted as a stock piece like they are for the ZX-10. Perhaps Muzzy purchased a limited supply and sell it at a high price.

The really weird thing is that the tube damper for the busa is only $300. The busa comes with a stock electronic steering damper that seems superior to the Ohline's. WTF??

forum to him...
