Ever fitted a custom steering damper?

[GT80]

Anyone ever fitted a custom steering damper to their TLS. I want to get my damper out from over the steering stem (super secret project). I've seen folks buy universal dampers (like these) and fit them to other bikes but the TLS doesn't seem to have much room behind the fairing. I'm thinking of making a mockup out of wood or something soon to see how I might be able to fit it. Just wondering if anyone has done it already. :dunno

Check out the placement on the new gixxers its between the forks on top of the bottom clamp.

Someone makes a side mount kit for the TLS. I think it was Daytona. I'm not sure if they still make them though.

There is a damper for the SVS that clamps to the frame & fork tube. But then SV's have conventional forks, not inverts. Not sure how similar the fairings are either. They don't rotate much but do require a long clearance area due to their stroke. I have a similar one on my GS and it looks funny how long it is.

If its any use www.franksracing.com makes brackets to mount dampers to fork legs..

I like how Frank spells damper.

j/k thanks for the link.

I'll definitely check out the new Gixxer mount thanks. Must I venture over to Gixxer.com? Ugh

Ha....trust me dont bother, look for pics of forks with them still attatched on Ebay. Probably get more help ....

And he's an old bloke too, mills the stuff up in his little workshop. But I like his work.

I might be getting a set of triples of him

Hyperpro. I love it.. I hated the stock one..

Didn't the damper TLSdoug have on his TLS mount down low?

[TLSBill]

He had the WER? WRE? Something like that.. it's down low in from of the steering head.. I liked the Hyperpro because I could adjust it while riding.

Yes...me likes that Looks great and it would work great for what I'm doing, so would the WER....however I can't spend that kinda $$$$.

the ohlins for the mille mounts in front of and below the triple clamps, between the headstock and the fairing (kinda under the gauges)

Doesn't help me much :dunno

Bitubo makes a SD that monts on the side somehow. I think it was the artist formerly know as TLSDoug who put a cutsom job on his bike. He did the tube clamp and some other bracket that he pop riveted in.
