anybody know what length the steering damper needs to be the sprint pro race im looking at has options of 50mm, 70mm and 120mm.

its for a race bike before you tell me i dont need one

thanks

 

For a street bike, you will probably use the 120 mm stroke. If you use a shorter stroke you will need to add some screws to the steering stops to prevent using the damper as a steering stop. It can damage the damper as well as pull it off in an extreme situation. I have an Mtoby damper and will measure the stroke and post it back here.

Hit me up on my email,I'll measure one of mine for you.

 

I measured my Mtoby and it is a 120 mm stroke. It mounts along the side of the frame above the side access panel. It allow the full sweep of the steering stops.

 

i ended up getting a 75mm one as it is an arrow damper for £52 worth £300 new happy me. its a race bike so im not going to be hitting the steering stops alot and could you get a pic of how its mounted please? i was looking at mounting it at the side but looked easier to mount underneath were the ignition barrel used to sit.

 

This is how the 120 mm damper mounts on my f2
