ok, thanks, it just seems like all the dampers for the 929s are a lot more than they are for other bikes, and it sucks because i really do need one and i am on a budget, guess ill just hafta be careful in the meantime

If you like the Ohlin / 916 style, check out Sprint on eBay. I have one on my 929 and am very happy with it.

yeah i also went without one for a while on my 929 bcuz i am also on a budget, and i just kept lookin on ebay and craigslist and i found a used black gpr that this guy was takin off of his 929 for 220 bucks. and man what a difference. i also read a post on this forum about shindy stabilizers(at least i think thats how you spell shindy) and they sell brand new for about 250. and they are the ohlins style. be careful out there.

I definitely would recommend the GPR. Easy to use and adjust on the fly. fits and looks nice.

+1 for what Jadyone2 said. There's another post here somewhere about the shindy. take a look at that before you go the budget route.

a budget one is better than none at all!
