Vertical R1 01-11-2002, 07:00 PM I just ordered a Ohlins steering damper for my 2000 R1 and it cost me a fortune. Does any one have any reviews on how they work and how easy they are to install. Thanks!::eek: Twisted Logic 01-11-2002, 07:08 PM :machinegu WELCOME :machinegu The Ohlins is a great damper,as far as installation goes,what kind of mount did you get? Harris or Ohlins? The install is actually easy either way,just read the instructions and take your time this is not something you want to do wrong. Here are the Ohlins instructions Vertical R1 01-11-2002, 07:21 PM Thanks, Twisted! The Ohilns damper that I ordered is a top mount and comes as a kit. It looks like it includes a triangular bracket that goes between the tank and triple tree. Any reviews on the ease of adjustment? Swedie 01-11-2002, 07:38 PM I just installed it on my bike :) Look at the attached image. Just loosen the main bolt on the triple clamp and place the three sided "thing" there.. can only fit one way. Oh.. also loosen the screw to the left... I have the Harris 916 fitting ket. I didn't use all the parts that came with the damper. Didn't find it necassary.. (couldn't either... heh). Vertical R1 01-11-2002, 08:08 PM Thanks for the picture Swedie, looks awsome! :D I cant wait to get it installed. One question for you, Is the carbon cover a factory piece or aftermarket? Swedie 01-11-2002, 08:30 PM The previous owner said it came with the bike.. = that it comes like that from the factory. but I'm not so sure. Vertical R1 01-12-2002, 04:32 PM I just installed the Ohlins steering damper, just wanted everyone to know easy it was to install and how trick it looks. Pulled a couple of first gear roll-on's to test it out and all works well.:lol The Ohlins kit doesn't require removal of the mail bolt and now includes a larger spacer so there is no rubbing. :D :rock :D Swedie 01-12-2002, 05:17 PM Good job there matey! If you happen to have a digital camera it would be cool to see what it looks like! Vertical R1 01-18-2002, 09:27 PM Hey Swedie, Here is a picture of the new Ohlins Steering Damper.:rock Droog 01-19-2002, 12:49 AM Wow!! You can't even tell it's there!! Mattias1 01-19-2002, 05:05 AM The carbon cover is NOT standard equipment. Itīs not even carbon, itīs some cheap plastic sh*t that serves no purpose but adding weight. Vertical R1 01-19-2002, 08:05 AM I'm trying to attach a JPEG picture of the new Ohlins, not having much luck with the "attach file" box any advice?:bs I will never give up!!:machinegu http://www.r1-forum.com/forums/attachment.php?s=&attachmentid=729 ChampionR1 01-19-2002, 08:08 PM Heres My Scotts Damper :rock I probably should have waited seeing that My pipe will come next week and I'll have to take it off :( ChampionR1 01-19-2002, 09:32 PM Got it from www.kneedraggers.com It was 400.00 They dont ship it to you, Scotts does ;) | ||
