Problem fitting hyper pro steering damper
hi folks ! some info on my bike and problem , i have a 03 rr and recently bought a hyperpro rsc damper and fitting kit off an 05 bike , i was told it would probley fit my bike but its not fitting ! the tank bracket seems ok but the bracket that mounts to the top yolk doesnt fit down flush because of some extra material on the bracket , i could file off the extra alloy but because of a recess in the top yoke for the nut i dont think there is enough threads left to hold everything safely. , so what are my options ? if i have to buy a new fitting kit i might as well sell this whole kit on as i will be out far to much money (unless somebody has a link to a cheap fitting kit) can this bracket be modded and how ? or what about , is it possible to change my top yoke to a 05 one ? thanks

The top trees between the years are very different because Honda went from conventional forks to USD forks. I would see if you could buy the triple mounting plate for the 03/04 from Hyperpro or a distributor. The actual unit is pretty standard I would think, and there must be extra parts floating around. Talk to an ebay vendor, even... I'm sure there's a way to make it work. Maybe even a local machinist could make one for you out of some aluminum.
Take some pictures of it. It'd help to see if it could be modified safely or not. |

Well... it looks like you'll just have to put an 05/06 front end on it! jk (although it would be a nice excuse to get the USD forks and radial brakes!)
I would pull off your top tree, take it to a machinist with the part that you received with the kit and ask them to make it fit. Most of those machinist guys have a lot of experience with automotive and motorcycle parts. They could either modify it or make you a new one. I can't believe HyperPro won't help you out with some hardware though. |
the uk dealer has got back to me and the price for the bracket is £80 delivered , it will take a couple of weeks for delivery as they have to wait for a few items to be ordered at the same time to keep costs down . its more than i want to pay but its ok i supose ! i've ordered it anyway so i'll post back with pics when it arrives . thanks again
