I like my HyperPro but I D K if brackets have been engineered just for the 14R. The brackets for the Gen 1 fit perfectly.
I would call Annitori Dist and ask them about fit for the 14r. Motomummy had these at the lowest price a year back.

I am running the Brock's, great with 0 issues... Very stable and work well. When I did my shopping there were many people who told me that the Hyperpro dampers leaked, but I do not have any first hand experience with them.

Yes I read that too and the more I searched the more I found they all leaked early on. Hopefully years of R&D have worked in our favor. Hopefully ????? If it leaks I will be one of the first post of that you can be sure.
This is the quote that sold me. I don't feel it unless a quick jar.
The new progressive Hyperpro RSC (Reactive Safety Control) steering damper is revolutionary compared to the previous linear model. Due to speed-sensitive damping, sharp blows are intercepted more effectively, and will not affect steering behavior at lower speed.

Very nice... and affordable. Unfortunately I have to put rubber on my scoot... AGAIN!
I like this type as opposed the rotary style: tucked down low, out of the way.
