M1100s - Custom Ohlins Steering Damper Top Mount Bracket

[northerncalguy]

Well, after about 3.5 weeks and several iterations of measuring, test fitting and machining my buddy and I finished a top mount steering bracket for an Ohlins damper. I think it turned out pretty well and although a bit rough on the finish, very functional and perfect fit. Here are some pictures and a link to a short video I made for this little project.

If anyone is interested in getting one of these for your Monster 1100, PM me and I can get you more details. These were not cheap to produce but if we get enough people interested I can bring it down to a reasonable cost.

Cheers!

Looks really good, any rough idea on pricing?

[SDRider]

I'm interested.

What's an Ohlins steering damper cost anyway? I assume we would be buying just the brackets from you and then we would have to buy the steering damper from someplace else?

Hey SD rider, the ohlins damper wont come with the bracket you will source that on your own, but its between 300-340 depending on where you get it. Really solid damper, worth it IMHO.

I have 3-4 people interested right now, pm me if you want to sign up. The bracket cost me 300, but it will almost definitely be cheaper when we have more people on the order.
