Scotts is the better product for street/track riding. The Scotts has a constant high speed damping that is always working for you. What this means isif you hitsome crap in the road ( pot hole, retread off a truck, wood etc ) your bike will not get to out of shape for you to hopefully save. In addition to that the damper is fully adjustable through a whole different set of valving. Take some time and check out the Scotts site, if you don't quite understand what it's all about you should give them a call I really don't know about their other products at all but the dampers I do.

Scotts is mainly a dirtbike brand...goggles and etc.

I'verode w/a scotts rotaryon the dirt...it was GREAT! Some do say, though, that the rotarys are for dirt and they'll overheat and seize...taking your steering w/ it. Look it up, I've NEVER heard of that happening on the street, or at all first hand. And Ihave used rotarys on the streets...

I can't remember which brand it is that sells the ohlins rotary damper under a diff. name, B/C Ohlins won't sell them on the street for that exact reason.

 

imho,both units are great-but think ahead-if it wears out,breaks,etc.,which one is the easiest to maintain,take apart,and rebuild!! just my$.02

also-if money is not a issue-i would take a real good look at a ohlin's unit
once more my $.02

 

The GPR has the same protection, it just has one less adjustment. The GPR will work just as well.

 

I have had both of those brands on previous bikes, and of the 2 i did like the scotts better "honestly". I dont like the scotts as much as my current one, but since you don't want to know, i won't tell you what it is

 

I got my Scotts from a guy on eBay for around 300 shipped. I love it and it has saved my *** a couple times, so it was well worth it for me.It is also very easy to adjust on the fly. I haven't ever had any other kind of dampner, so I can't make any comparisons,but I would suggest a Scotts dampner to any of my friends.

 

I went with the Scotts. Ordered it from Ebay for 417 shipped. Thanks for the input fellas.

 

Got the Scotts in, and installed. Dont know if I can feel the difference yet. I guess I have to hit 125+ first. Thanks for all your help and input.

 

I have never felt like I need a damper. I've been across poor quality roads and hit high speeds but never felt the need for a damper... Are you guys getting speed wobbles? I must admit I don't understand the need/desire for this part.

 

Funny that you said that. Now that I have it, I cant really see the need for one either. Could one of you guys explain to me how i should set it up, and what I should expect from it. Its installed, and it works properly, but what should I be looking for?Will I only feel the difference only at high speeds?
