Admin Jaap Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Getting rid of the HEAVY fairing gave me the opportunity to ebay an almost new Öhlins steering damper for ridiculously low money! *smug* My Bitubo leaks and is just out of guarantee...

gthyni Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 or perhaps how/if someone has made an Ohlins work(and what part#). Has anyone found a good alternative? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RacerX Posted April 29, 2004 Author Share Posted April 29, 2004 Guys, if you're familiar with WP, Wilbers are very similar as Wilber is from 'WP'. I'd rate the shock on par with more then most then all of the upper end $800+ shocks. Öhlins top of the line rear is upwards of $1300 for all of the bells and whistles. I wouldn't call Wilbers a "value replacement" shock at all. Any of you guys familiar with HyperPro? This is a VERY similar shock in quality and design.

jrt Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Think! Think buddy, think...... I'll give you a hint. Front, mono and the little one..... one-two-three YES. 1-2-3 I don't think the damper is all that necessary on the 2002+ bikes, as they seem quite stable, but I feel that it "doesn't hurt"... just a little insurance Alright, so I'm slow sometimes. I never think about the steering damper, 'cause I just don't use it on my bike- '01 sport, and it's totally stable. The first image that popped into my head was a left front leg silver sachs and a right gold ohlins, LOL. I need more sleep. Thanks for the info on the Wilbur's, Todd.
