Premium Member ratlab Posted August 4, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted August 4, 2015 looks like a nice easy install-i like that it doesn't move the bars up like the gpr-i'm seriously thinking about pulling the trigger on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomascrown Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 yoyodyne is the usa importer. Will likely get it for you much cheaper than that ebay vendor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member ratlab Posted August 6, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted August 6, 2015 he's not been importing toby products for awhile-if he gets enough calls about them he might re-evaluate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomascrown Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 There's also this mounting kit on ebay. Doesn't come with a steering damper though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member ratlab Posted August 20, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted August 20, 2015 damper came in today-30 min install-parts are very light and well made-thought the horseshoe bracket around the gas cap might look funky,but nicely done and unobtrusive.it does raise instruments up 1 3/4 inches and about 1/2 and inch forward.might lose some steering lock to the right side also.can't test ride it ride cause of the fires right now.

Did you ever get a chance to ride with the damper? Could you post some pictures of it installed and the changes it makes to the instrument cluster. I am interested in this set up and the difference it can make on the bikes handling and feel. I would appreciate any input, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member ratlab Posted August 30, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted August 30, 2015 works great -my suspension is upgraded so as a package handling is very controlled-if your suspension is stock, i would think it would take s some of the slap out of accelerating over bumps,hitting potholes etc.-the instrument panel gets lifted by a bracket and the damper fits underneath.easy to tighten up on the fly and has a lot of adjustment.i lowered the front by 5mm and have Q3's which are a sharper profile tire and the damper keeps things in line at speed,over bumps,when the front end gets light, under hard braking-i have always had dampers on all my bikes and they have always been worth it.

[attachment id=839" thumbnail="1] Thanks for the reply. The FZ is my first bike and so I don't have a lot of experience with what constitutes a good suspension feel. However, everyone I've spoken too that uses steering dampers have advised me they are worthwhile investments. I appreciate your input, now I have to decide whether suspension or damper should be higher on my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
