So I have an 05 which I did a gsxr front end swap on and it came with a factory steering damper. Unfortunately it just will not fit with the factory headlight in place Are there any other options for a naked SV for a steering damper? aftermarket or another way to install the gsxr oem?

 

[dream36realms]

yeah pm dougz

 

[Ruchmate]

even with that bracket there won't be enough clearance for the headlight

yeah, I got nuttin for the nakeds with big round headlights.

Newt was working on something, so to not step on his toes..I did not bother doing any R&D to make one. Its seems like with the adjuster there, it would be a PIA.

 

[Ruchmate]

Oh well, I don't really want to get small weird headlights on it, i like the standard one. Is there anything in the aftermarket?

Top mount or side mount.

 

[wacky_woodchuck]

Top mount will work. Scotts (Ohlins rotary), Pitbull, GPR.

You'll need the appropiate mounting nut for your GSXR top triple and stem. And then the SV tank brackets.

I know Scotts will sell you what you need (that's what I have). Not sure about Pitbull or GPR. I'm sure they will though.

Ah cool thanks

It's OK Dougy - go for it. I'm not going to make any for anyone else.

Well my friend..based on our talks..and the fact that you did not find a way around it, I am guessing fabbing one up, will not really be an easy thing to do..at least with the stock headlight.

Now, once the snow melts, and I have a free weekend, if someone wants too bring their bike...a naked gen I, by (08015), I will see what I can do to create one. With out having a bike in front of me though, its not gonna happen.

Oh. I thought I was going to get to trade you for some DZC wheel spacers.

Tell me what you need...I'll hook you up my friend.

J/k - it was a reference to you not profiting from another's hard work.

bumpity. Any work on this? I would love to be able to use an 04 GSXR 600 stock steering dampner, since I got one when I did my conversion on my naked 650.

It's kludgy. You have to drop the damper down with a long spacer at the tab on the lower tree, then back up with a fab thingy to the center. I didn't like it.

I've come to the conclusion that the better solution is to put a different headlamp on that sits higher.

And then you can just use the current adapter that's for sale?

I don't know nothin' about no adapters for sale. I make my own stuff.
