what else is avaliable other than the stupid lookin pole thats side mounted on my 1100slingshot.My new headlite unit wont allow the standard type so is there 1 avalible that fits the top or bottom of the tripple tree like on the later model 750's.

cheers;)

HAHAHA.....might as well castrate urself right now. I don't rate those type at all, ask a professional racer and he'll tell u ur crazy.

Mate of mine nearly had his gonards ripped off by one of those fuckers

This is wat i prefer.........Its a rotary damper with adjustable sweep and speed.

Alot of the newer bikes are starting to come out with these as standard......eg; CBR1000RR

my 2c cents worth

thanks for the input. only problem is i run a 24mm top yoke riser block and high rise fat bar mounts ontop.But ive decided to build my own to suit,will probly go with a radial style. They are the dux nuts on MX bikes these days too.Cheers

The late Suzuki dampers adapt fairly easily either under the headlight or topmount,this is a pic of my Daytona in 99 with a tl damper fitted .
