Hi guys!!!!

Well, i just bought a few toys for my f4i and i got an ohlins damper in mint conditions but it doesnt have the mounting bracket, so, i'm asking you to help me find out a way to install my new damper and what i have to do to make it. i think ill have to make the bracket of aluminum but i need SPECS!!!!!

Please help!!!

 

you should be able to contact ohlins and they should have all the mounting hardware you need. I'd check there first.

 

Yes, maybe i'll contact them but i want to know if its cheaper to do it myself, i need pics of it and detailed instructions lol

 

with something like that I'd almost go to the manufacturer for ti to be 100% effective. Maybe you can get the specs from Ohlins. Only way to find out is ask, whats the worst thing they are going to say, no?

 

Yup, you're right

 

Im sure the mounting bracket wouldnt cost much at all from ohlins anyway, its just hardware. The dampers the expensive piece, the bracket couldnt be more than $20-30.

 

the brackets like 120 bucks, im sorry man, but on the f4i its a crazy lookin thing too

 

ALL mounting brackets for pretty much ALL dampeners are from $100-$140. Note to yourself bro.

 

what brackets do you have?
there are 2 of them on mounts to you triple tree and one mounts to the 2 screws at the top
of the fuel tank and is a beam that comes up that is the part that is mounted to the slide bar and would not be very hard to make.
this is kinda what it looks like
The one on the triple tree now would be the hard one to make because it has a lock pin in it that sits in the grove just under your main nut in the triple tree.
My bike is at My brothers house right now so I can't get you any specs on it sorry.

 

Thanks for the info bro.. If you can, take several pics of your damper and that will help a lot....ohhh btw i dont have any brackets, just have the damper....
