Hi Ducati friends,

I just purchased a new to me 2014 SF848. I'm looking to add an Ohlins damper, and from the digging I've done, it seems the 848 is not set up with a mounting kit from the factory like the 1098 is, and is a relatively complex mod. The detailed installation guide is unfortunately around 8 years old, and the links to the external photos are dead. Can anyone who has successfully completed this modification post an installation guide and parts they purchased?

Thanks!

This is the only option left.

Dan Kyle USA used to make a kit for the Ohlins damper for SF848 but they have discontinued.

General consensus on Matris vs Ohlins?

 

[Donger]

Same functions. Öhlins is more popular. But from the look of it, Matris is the only thing left.

I just installed the ohlins option, on my sf848.
Available through motowheels. I'll do up a list later for what you need.

SF 848 Ohlins Steering Damper/Ducabike clamp Installation

This will be a quick “how to” on how to add an Ohlins Steering Damper to the 2013 SF 848 without any existing damper hardware. This will be straightforward with most the fat cut out, unlike my original thread with all my questions and trial and error. I would like to thank Secret Squirrel...

He can't use that part bc sf848 does not have the damper mount like the 1098 does.

Thank you! Would appreciate it.

Thank you! Would appreciate it.

I since posted a link to a write up, which contains a list of all you need.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Those parts are interchangeable, it can, and has been done.

Understood, but the part posted was just a clamp not a full bracket it that he needed to install the damper itself.

I just installed the factory SF1098 damper on my SF848 and it was easy breezy. Took less time to install than it did to source the parts. Could you do the same but add a bracket designed to clamp the Ohlins damper to the factory mount? Seems likely to me.

Companies like SendCutSend or Cognito Moto will make custom bits for you if you provide measurements. The clamp that holds the damper is a very simple shape and could easily be duplicated and modified to hold an Ohlins.

Ducabike have a clamp for the ohlins damper, along with the stock mounting hardware, it just needs a couple spacers made up to work. Still an easy job.
