Ohlins, or Scotts.. :fact

 

:stpd: i have both. they are both great. i now just the ohlins. but, u can't go wrong with any of these choices

 

What Nick said.....I have a Scott's

 

I went with a scotts. had it on my "99" and kept it when I got the "06". Have it mounted on the "06" now and it's awesome. Very adjustable for Street use and can tighten it up for track days. Never had anything else so I can't comment there. Do your homework, Ohlins, GPR, and Pitbull have offerings as do some others. If you're street only maybe one that's not as much $$ will do ya just fine. :riding

Scotts/Ohlins for me too.

I've got one on my 12 and its excellent.

 

Ohlins.

 

Looks like you have an 03 like me. I got a Toby
and it works well. I like the more hidden look. I have more pics if you like.

SoupKitchen thanks for the pic. is that the graves carbon intake thingy ?

 

Yup. I have the air box and the ram air director or what ever they call it... then the fuel rail and all the other stuff. Long story short, the fine sponcers of this forum have quite a bit of my money.

I have a sprint and it's been good, no problems at all and it's doing a great job, haven't had a tank slaper since i've put it on.

 

I use Scott's but this is my first aftermarket damper. I definitely noticed a difference and recommend an aftermarket damper. It does not have to be Scott's. I splurged a bit. A reputable manufacturer with something comparable.

 

Ohlins :rock

 

rorlow, man how in the world did you cram all that stuff in there

 

Any of the top manufacturers are good. I have Ohlins only because I got a good deal on it.

 

This has been covered many times over, and a search will do you wonders to get even more opinions and answers to your question. :thumbup

For myself, personally I never put a steering damper on my R1. I had an '03 R1 and never had head shake like many people complain about. What I did was invested time and a little bit of money into ensuring my suspension was setup correctly for my height, weight and riding style. Well, as best as the factory suspension would do.

Being that you have an '02/03, I would suggest investing money in getting your suspension reworked. If it hasn't been touched, you've got at least 4 years on the oil in there and it's over due for replacing. On top of it, the factory suspension is designed for someone who weighs about 180 pounds and rides somewhat mildly. You don't need to spend a ton of money and put Ohlins on all the way around, but a decent setup of rebuilt factory forks and an aftermarket shock will run you about $1,500.

Invest in setting up your suspension correctly. It's one of the best mods you will ever do. Far too many people are focused on the bling factor, or horsepower via engine mods. All that money they put into engine and appearance mods won't give anywhere near the return on investont of a decent suspension setup will. :fact

 

Werd. Some really good advice in my opinion. :rock

 

i used a hyperpro on my gsxr-750 and had no complaints but nothing to compare too.

 

Had scotts on my 03 and loved it. Very easy to use and adjust on the fly. Ordered a Ohlins for my 05 today so I hope it's equally as good. Will be interesting to feel the difference in rotary vs. rod (shock).

 

Daytona, seems fine for the street. $260 @Dennis Kirk

 

Have a GPR on mine.
