I would like to know who has one on their bike? Are they worth the money? And which one do you prefer?

Thank's, Jim

 

I've got an Ohlins on mine, and LOVE it! It really does help out alot, and has saved my *** a couple times already. I look at it this way, it really can't hurt anything, and I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it, ya know? I can't say I have any experience with other brands, but from what I've read, any of the name brands like Scotts, GPR, Ohlins, etc you can't go wrong with any of them. I know others have finer tuning ability than mine does... mine has 18 different settings so it's more on the basic side, but still works very very well.

 

i have a Hyper Pro, fully adjustable ..works well and third said better to have it then not have it.

 

i have the hyperpro active and its the **** i definately recomend it

 

by the way i have a pic in my gallery

 

i dont understand how the install. wouldent that be ackward and in your way?

 

I bought the Scotts/Ohlins rotary unit and love it so far. Makes the ride a lot smoother either when going really fast or over bumpy stuff. I leave it at a fairly stiff setting and I like how it feels. Moves fast when I need it to, and keeps the front wheel tracking where it needs to be when the road is less than smooth.

Definately worth the money.

 

thirdgenlxi, thats ohlins damper is sweet. how much did ya pay for it? btw, you reached 70000 miles yet? cheers

 

Thanks! I really don't remember how much I payed for the damper, cuz I bought it used from my roomate. He had the same bike only yellow, and when he sold it he put it back to stock and sold me the damper and slip on and a few other things at a deal I couldn't refuse New though I want to say it was around $350 or so "I think", can't rememebr for sure though. Well worth the $$$ though!!

Oh yea haven't hit 70k yet, at 61,800 now. But it won't be long now... just got a new job that I start tomorrow with an approx 85 mile daily commute, so it'll start counting quick now! I'll be at 100k in no time!

 

Just make sure your suspension is setup prior to installing a damper. Lots of people use a damper as a band-aid for a improper setup.
