Steering Damper Proect
« on: 31 January 2014, 02:59:00 pm »
So, having fitted my FG Gubellini shock I realised I have taken my bike as far as I can with worthwhile bike specific additions. So I decided I now have to start thinking about modifying parts designed for other bikes, because the idea of finishing my 2 1/2 year project with the Fazer is making me sad on the inside.


The other day I lost out on a steering damper from a BMW S1000RR. But this morning I won one from a K5 GSXR 750  :D .


I have no idea if I can make it fit my bike, but I will be posting the results up here either way.


Have any of you lot tried this before? And if so, what was your success rate?



Not quite sure what to do with my early mid-life crisis. Ideas on a post card to P.O.BOX 150...
