Anyone know of a steering damper that will work with the sport classic?

Saw this last night at our local Duc meet, not a bad piece of kit. I would probably think about powder coating the frame mount.

I have been looking myself. If I'm not mistaken the link posted is for someone who was replacing a stock damper. That does not help us who don't have the mounting setup on the frame or triple clamp of the SC1000's. I was told that I would need to buy a triple clamp of a Paul Smart and weld a bracket on the frame. My question would be... is there any other solution for the basic CS1000?

Look a little farther down the thread.

I'm waiting to hear from someone local who manufactures Ceriani kits for a few other bikes. I am hoping some brackets may fit the Duc. or they may be able/willing to produce one that is minimalist in appearance.

Does anyone know if there's an appreciable difference in quality and performance between this one and the Ohlins damper?

Will the "Double Barrelled" damper from Ohlins be that much better than the single damper version?

Has anyone got price quotes?

Which one is the better value for money?

How much extra are we paying for the Ohlins name?

Curiouser and curiouser...

Thanks for pointing that out. I see now what I missed. It looks like a good setup. I wonder if they will upgrade with color options. Black and gold would be hot on my SC.

I'm waiting for a less obtrusive option. The SC aftermarket has yet to really get going.
