I'm looking at organizing another group buy with the wonderful folks at Ohlins. I need to know what damper I would need for an 87 750 set up with USD's. Anyone know? Marko?
Well, maybe you should have bought a 750. Who the hell cares about 1100's? I only do blue 750's. Nothing else.
Actually, I was thinking that in this case it would probably be a universal fit, but since I don't know I thought I would ask the board. Somebody here knows, and I know Marko is running one. He just hasn't read the thread yet.
I have one already and had the mount bored to 41mm to fit the 89 frontend. It would be cool though to have an ohlins:biggrin Thinking about running the invert frontend I have in hiding so might need a new damper.
just an idea. I had called gpr and all they need are the measurements of the tank pad bracket bolts to the steering head nut. They said they could then tell me what one to use. Since I have yet to get one finshed a damper is not top priority. http://www.gprstabilizer.com/
I want to use one that mounts to the frame rather than to the top clamp. The top mount is too modern for my tastes. I'm hoping to have a rolling track chassis soon and when I get that together I'll be able to take some of my own measurements and try to find a fit. I'll check on the 150mm to see if it wil work on the 1st gens as I really was looking for more of a universal fit for all of us anyway.
What is this EVO thread you speak of 7-11? I already have a temp guage, but another wouldn't hurt. Actually, I think I may need a bung for mine. I was just going to make one, but it might be better for me to buy one if the price is right.
All use the same side mount damper...so if you guys with 86-87 frames want to drill some holes then we all can use the 150mm ohlins
You can always buy different fork adapters for $35 so it doesn't matter what front end you have
Also, since the WC frame is very similar to the slingy...you could always try and persuade the 92-93 600 guys from the w/c section to pick one up as well
Hey, can you inquire about my shock while you got her there? Just wondering what the timeline may be? She was waiting on the eyelet last I heard. Thanks!
