Default Steering Damper

Do they make a steering damper for a 93 900? If so where?

I was looking for one a couple months ago, and I only found two. There is one brand called Daytona that sells them for about $120, but I have seen like 3 or 4 of them on eBay, all with bent rods so I think they basically just a P.O.S. There is also this company: http://www.sprintdampers.co.uk/ I think the quality with these is better, but I got a little sidetracked when I was buying one and haven't actually seen them yet.

Heres a link where they sell the shindy daytona brand ones: http://www.kneedraggers.com/details/...0RR610627.html

I couldn't find the site again where they have them for $120, but even at that price i don't think they'd be worth it becuase of low quality

BTW, always helps to search first, extensive discussion in this thread: https://cbrforum.com/m_595226/tm.htm

Does your bike have a 16" or 17" front rim?

The 17" is said to be more stable and less responsive, so it might help keep the bike a bit more controlled. Also it'll be easier to get replacement tires...more choices of brands.

Please don't start another 17" conversion thread from a 16"...

That's the way his greatness, Tadeo Baba designed this bike in 1992 and I am not going to argue with him.

heh-heh you guys are funny


I'm just happy my baby is running again.

As for the damper, I wonder if Scotts could make one or custom make one? Would be pricey but it mightworth it for safety

Hell yeah!! I got one on my 93 900RR. I dont know what make it is, there is no label on it. Here is a pic of it, will try to get a better pic tomorrow if you want. It really helps, makes turning a little harder but the bike is 10000 times more stable.
