Nice!

Have you had a chance to try it out yet? I have been wondering how those are.

thanks but its not my bike. dome other aussie has it set up(i would of just welded a steel lug on the frame).
he had to revalve it because oem ones arent actually straight line dampers. they are more turning dampers. he said the damper cost him only $200 new delivered to his door as oposed to $7-800 for the scotts damper. personally i would prefer the scotts but at that price i just cant justify it.besides the oem setup is out the way and lighter i think.

My understanding is that the Honda OEM damper is simply to take out a little of the nervousness that comes from running triple clamps with less offset. The Scotts damper is to handle big hits and can be configured to cut only after the bars have turned some distance. So is this an apple to pears comparison? Just curious.

correct! they have to have the interanl valve on the inside turned around and slight valving/10 wht oil to work. its still a work in progress but they do work. not as good as a scotts, but nothing is.
