New Steering Damper Available For Gassers! Nice!

[42GEORGE]

I'VE BEEN SENDING SOME GASGAS SPECS TO THE GUYS AT MOTOSPORTZ SO THEY CAN R&D ONE FOR THE GASSERS! THEY ALREADY HAVE THEM FOR MANY OTHER BIKES & WE HAVE TESTED A COUPLE OF THEM AND BEEN VERY HAPPY WITH THE QUALITY, PRICE AND IT LOOKS GOOD TOO! THE DAMPER SLIDES FORWARD & BACKWARD IN ITS MOUNT SO THAT YOU DON'T NEED A NEW MOUNT EVERYTIME YOU WANT TO CHANGE YOU BAR POSITION (IN THE TRIPLE CLAMP). THE POST IS A 2 PIECE DESIGN THAT DOESNT REQUIRE REMOVING THE UPPER TRIPLE CLAMP TO INSTALL IT! CHECK EM OUT THEY RETAIL FOR ABOUT $389.99. THEIR WEB ADRESS IS: WWW.MOTOSPORTZDAMPER.COM.

Nice. Does it have a high speed circuit like a Scotts? I have a 9 year old Scotts rebuilt a few times but just can't keep seals in it anymore. I think the main wiper shaft is just worn out at the top where dirt can collect.

It's a nice looking unit. This page has more details.

The Damper Doesnt Have A High & Low Speed Circiut But It Is Faaaar Superioir To The Gpr Damper. I Am Happy With My Scots But This Wasnt Available At The Time Or I Probably Would Have Bought It.

Actually, it states that the dampening is "velocity sensitive" which means a shimstack or something similar in their. This effectively gives you low and high speed dampening characteristics - valved properly, it should work well...

Hydraulic flow, by law, is velocity sensitive. That is the resistance to flow increases to the square of the velocity. Thats why we have active valving in modern suspension now vs damper rods. The Scotts lets you still have very stiff HS damping with very little low speed damping. I'd like to try it. Just rebuilt my Scotts again tonight and its getting tired. Had a WER and tried a GPR and the Scotts is way better.
