$$ GPR Steering Damper $$

Can anyone tell me a great place to find a sweet deal on a GPR steering damper for an 04' I have checked out a lot of websites and the cheapest I am finding is $395. Just wanted to check with you all ofyou guys to see if I can save some cash money :hehe

you gotta PM

Can I get a PM too? Ive been looking at GPR and have only seen em in the 380-400 prices.

www.hammythecanman.com

can i get a pm im about to buy one today and if you got the hookup that would be great.. Thanks

can i get a pm im about to buy one today and if you got the hookup that would be great.. Thanks Yeah i'm looking at both gpr and scotts dampers....if anybody knows of any deals send them my way as well.

Send me a PM or Email too if any of you guys know a gret deal for Scotts or GPR. Kyosuke8@Yahoo.com -Garrett

If Ohlins will fit your bill, I believe Creeper is putting together a group buy in the group buy forum. I can't really attest to the quality of one over the other though.

i could use a pm also lol. that would be great, cause i work fulltime and school fulltime, money is an issue and so is not having a stablizer werd

Pm me too, I am considering getting one. I'll check Hammy out too.

Does ANYONE pay attention to the date of posts in the threads? The original post was made 9 months ago.

holy sh*t z31 this is funny as hell, omg.

scotts damper is the best you can get i wouldnt recommend any others, not that other companies dont make good products, but scotts offers the most bang for your buck. its like 10 more dollars than all the others but amazing feedback i got from mine. good luck

johnny...you are a little late to respond :stupic

scotts damper is the best you can get i wouldnt recommend any others Not only are you late on this one, but every real racer I know, uses a Ohlins damper.

:werd

I can't really attest to the quality of one over the other though. I can , Ohlin's is the best ! why play with your life over a few bucks ? it's like buying cheap tires ,and you wouldn't do that would you ?

scotts damper is the best you can get i wouldnt recommend any others Not only are you late on this one, but every real racer I know, uses a Ohlins damper. http://www.ohlins.com/mc_sd_mx.shtml YOU WERE SAYING WHAT ABOUT SCOTTS??? :roll:

But your link is implying the racers use it, right? Well that link was for motocross and endurance off road racing NOT a street bike like we were talking about. Better luck next time. :cheers

But your link is implying the racers use it, right? Well that link was for motocross and endurance off road racing NOT a street bike like we were talking about. Uhhh your a moron. :hammer First, Id like to see where you got your data that 'every REAL racer' use Ohlins. Whats a REAL racer btw? lol Second, Scotts IS a popular choice amongst racers as is many other rotary brand dampers these days like GPR. Lastly, that link was to show you that Scotts IS Ohlins so to infer Ohlins is better than Scotts just goes to show you how clueless you really are. If you werent suffering from branditis maybe you'd know this. :mrgreen:

Dude I don't mean to be a dick but just cause they are made by the same company doesn't mean they are the same quality. I mean think of craftsman and there "knock-off" brand. Not the same quality by any means just do that to get into more people price range or in this case stye of riding. You wouldn't use a Ohlins on a dirt bike. You would use a scott's and you can use both on a streetbike, but Ohlin's are more geared for street bikes. So before you go getting high and mighty with 2 posts I suggest you do some reasearch first.

Lastly, that link was to show you that Scotts IS Ohlins so to infer Ohlins is better than Scotts just goes to show you how clueless you really are. If you werent suffering from branditis maybe you'd know this. :mrgreen: As in all the shops I know around here that race, they ALL use a PISTON or ROD type steering damper as opposed to a rotary style damper. And if your going to quote me at least quote me correcty asshat. I didn't say that "every real racer" uses Ohlins, I said that "every real racer I know" uses Ohlins. There is a big difference there being that I only guys in my region that race, I don't know what club racers in any other part of the country are using. Like I said, I already knew that Scotts was made by Ohlins. Bet you knew this though, one of the reasons the Scotts is more popular for the street is that they will actually send you the parts to rebuild it, where as Ohlins they require you to send it to them to be rebuilt.

I mean think of craftsman and there "knock-off" brand. Are talking about Sears selling Craftsman and the Sears line of tools? I didn't know Craftsman had a knock-off brand that THEY made, what's it called? So before you go getting high and mighty with 2 posts... HAHA, there it is again! Once again, the post count is reflected upon as experience with bikes! Damn those "new to the forum people" for thinking they know something about motorcycles with only 2 posts!

Once again, the post count is reflected upon as experience with bikes! Damn those "new to the forum people" for thinking they know something about motorcycles with only 2 posts! Ok let me straight things out here. I believe Craftsman makes like Husky tools or some similar brand. I know they have a cheaper brand of tools that doesn't have a life time warranty on it. Where as if you break a Craftsman tool you can bring it back to the Sear's to get a what every you broke. And as for the post count it is only being reflected in defence of him taking a stab at Mainiac not in how experienced he is or how long he has been riding. I hope that straightens out why I used the post count or if you would like a better analogy on tools use Snap-On and Matco same manufacturer but different pricing. Granted you still can only buy both of them from the Company or a guy driving a Matco or Snap-On Truck they are not avaliable in stores from what I have heard.

[quote=NoobR6]I mean think of craftsman and there "knock-off" brand. Are talking about Sears selling Craftsman and the Sears line of tools? I didn't know Craftsman had a knock-off brand that THEY made, what's it called? sears also sells companion tools...cheap pot metal stuff thats pretty much not worth anything for anyone other than the ocasional house project. anytime theres real torque involved they won't last. Craftsman rocks on the other hand...i love my new low profile ratchets...

LOL!!! How we went from a steering damper comparison to tooling is beyond me! :mrgreen: Anyway, I got involved in this thread just cuz I wanted it to be clear that Scotts is still a very good choice and competant damper, for any newbies who are clueless. Theres nothing more annoying to me than people that spread BLIND data to others publicly even these days like THEY have firsthand knowledge of an item. The thing that cracks me up the most is those who suffer from brand X just cause they heard or read it somewhere that its the tits of a product. 8 out of 10 of these ppl are bench racing know at alls, now THATS funny! I said that "every real racer I know" uses Ohlins What do the real racers YOU know use for rubbers? Dunlops? Michelins? Pirelli's? Does that make the rest of the makers of lesser quality? :cheers Now Im up to 3 posts maybe Ill have more weight in my debates??? :hammer

Lastly, that link was to show you that Scotts IS Ohlins so to infer Ohlins is better than Scotts just goes to show you how clueless you really are. If you werent suffering from branditis maybe you'd know this. :mrgreen: Check it out wise ass ! I go to the AMA road races and every pro rider I've seen uses an Ohlin's ( Piston type ) damper , none of the pro riders use a rotary type damper because there made for dirt bikes . Just because the rotary is a popular choice doesn't make it right ! I see guys on the streets with the rotary damper I also see that their tires have 2 inch chicken strips so I know they have no clue other than it looks cool on the bike ..... Yes Ohlin's makes the Scotts damper , Ohlin's is Scotts , Ohlin's Owns scotts and so on ........ The thing about the scotts on a sportbike is that it is NOT strong enough in the pin and can break , the Ohlin's piston mount is much stronger and is made just for sportbikes ....... You'll hear people say " well if I go down the scotts will be ok where as the ohlin's piston will get damaged ....... bullshit !!! if you go down hard enough to damage a piston type , the damper will be the least of your worries ........ either kind aren't bullet proof !

What do the real racers YOU know use for rubbers? Dunlops? Michelins? Pirelli's? Pilot Power Race. K&N motorcycles in Tulsa, a Yamaha dealer, has two '05 R6 endurance bikes. They run Graves slide stop kits, K&N air filters, and just switched to Akrapovic from Graves Full Ti exhaust systems. And yes I do know them personally, I ride with alot of the guys that work there. I NEVER said that Scotts was somehow an inferior damper, it will be the one I buy when I get one, I was saying that the racers I KNOW, do NOT use rotary style dampers. Pick up the March copy of Road Racing World and read the article about Sam McDonald. And you will find out where I get alot of my "bench racing info."

What do the real racers YOU know use for rubbers? Dunlops? Michelins? Pirelli's? V. Rossi #46 MotoGp Michelins ......... :twisted:

This is getting better every day, we are NOW comparing our upgrades to AMA quality parts? LOL! Check it out wise ass ! I go to the AMA road races and every pro rider I've seen uses an Ohlin's ( Piston type ) damper , none of the pro riders use a rotary type damper because there made for dirt bikes. Oh man I didnt realize your skills were on par to the AMA gents, excuuuuse me! So now that you have a PISTON type Ohleeens damper I guess your now running with the big boys? Do you get my point? I wont hold my breath. I guess in your world you think buying a set of Ohlins forks or shocks means they are the same ones on the AMA machines eh? So Penske sucks? How about the Arrow, Jardines or any other big name exhaust we see on factory bikes I guess they're the same too? Lets fast forward to the use of a K&N filter, I suppose since race teams use them or a BMC filter we should all put them on our bikes too cuz that must mean HP gains, yes??? Unless you guys are hitting the tracks YOURSELVES and talking firsthand to real people with real budgets, dont even attempt to justify your BS. Michelins huh? I guess they're status quo now on the forum. :mrgreen: Not that they are bad tires, I mean how could they be Vale and Colin are using them right? :roll: Heres something I dug up that might make a good read: http://world.honda.com/motorcycle-technology/hesd/p2.html Based on the above-mentioned findings and deriving from the rotary-type steering damper technology applied to the MotoGP machine RC211V, the world’s first, variable damping-type rotary steering damper “HESD” from article above. Maybe we should give Honda a heads up on what we ALL know about Ohlins being number ONE? Mind you, Im not saying rotary dampers are the BEST Im not foolish enough to make those kind of claims, just letting the uninformed know that Ohlins dampers arent the only good choice. Yea those rotary type dampers are for the birds, I wonder what the majority of you guys thought about the HESD damper on the 1krr when it first came out.

Would all of you quit your crying. I mean you sound like a bunch of little kids with BMX's. Get back to the subject in hand, who knows where to find CHEAP dampers. $400 is a little too rich for my blood, but I don't want to settle with a toby's damper. Slick :cheers

are people finally done bitching and ready to talk about which dampers work/dont work for them?? it already seems decided that theres some kind of tossup between scotts, hyperpro, and gpr. so which is a better choice for street/track use?

You asked for advise and like an idiot you don't follow it from others like myself that know first hand from the streets and track what to use ! so Mr smart ass go buy whatever you want and hope it works , now stfu !

$400 is a little too rich for my blood, but I don't want to settle with a toby's damper. Slick :cheers I gotta few rubber bands and a coat hanger maybe we can make that damper for 9.95 and save a few bucks >>>>> LMFAO !!!!

You asked for advise and like an idiot you don't follow it from others like myself that know first hand from the streets and track what to use ! so Mr smart ass go buy whatever you want and hope it works , now stfu ! WTF are you talking about? When did I ask for advice? LOL who's the freaking idiot? FWIW- For those of you who want some real feedback from an enthusiast not from your typical squid who mimics or repeats what he sees on tv......I got my GPR damper, nice little unit easy install, comes off pretty quick too.

I'll stick with what I know works on and off the track , Ohlin's #163 piston damper.

:gayfight :gives

:stupic :werd :sheep

So, now that our e-penises are huge and we feel manly.... I have been thinking about a damper for some time now. Ohlins is a good buy, I hear. What is the idea or purpose of having a damper on your bike? I feel the steering get bumpy sometimes, but that usually means that I need to back off a bit - so I do. I would like to get smoother in the corners, will the damper help?? Forgive my noob-ness. If getting on a track and taking some lessons on riding would do me better for the money than buying a steering damper, I would like to know..... :cheers

If getting on a track and taking some lessons on riding would do me better for the money than buying a steering damper, I would like to know..... :cheers The purpose of a damper is to 'lessen' the likelihood of a tank slapper which tends to happen when the front tire is barely on the ground or the rear end steps out on you a little bit and putting either wheel off course with the other. This can lead to a high side. The amusing thing here is many inexperienced people will say this or that about a specific damper as if they've felt or experienced a save, truth is, its one of those items that does its job unknown to the rider 99% of the time. Are steering dampers full proof? Absolutely NOT! So to answer your question, no a damper will not make the bike run any smoother its not used as a shock absorber it just slows down the movement of the steering should it want to 'slap' on you. Another thing I like about Scotts dampers is the fact that it has high AND low speed damping, something most piston type dampers do NOT have. If we were talking about ANY other upgrade, I would highly recommend taking the track time over the product but a damper is a must on some bikes, Id say the R6 is one of them. Gdluck!

If we were talking about ANY other upgrade, I would highly recommend taking the track time over the product but a damper is a must on some bikes, Id say the R6 is one of them. Gdluck! The tank slapper happens as you ride over uneven ground making the front tire bounce from side to side at a very high rate as it's not inline with the rear tire. the reason for speeding up in a tank slapper is that it will help to stop this action , but it doesn't always work ........ Once again the high speed , low speed damper ( scotts ) is for dirt bikes. and I have yet to get a tank slapper at any speed with my Ohlin's piston damper , this would be the same damper used by 99.9% of the AMA , MotoGP riders. It maybe old school , but it's the right school ! If we were talking about ANY other upgrade, I would highly recommend taking the track time over the product but a damper is a must on some bikes, Id say the R6 is one of them. ^ This would be bad advise! ^ Get the damper first , then hit a track day or whatever you wanna do ! because doing a track day with out one will more than likely put you in danager and off the track !

again................:gayfight :gives

I would like to get smoother in the corners, will the damper help?? :cheers Yes it will help to make the bike feel smoother in the steering while on the gas in corners and especially while on the brakes hard before a corner. A Steering Damper is the BEST mod you can get for your bike! and I'll say it again , Rotary dampers are for dirt bikes ! piston type are for street/race bikes ...... the reason people are willing to use the wrong kind of damper (rotary)on their streetbikes is because of price and looks !

again................:gayfight :gives the one who gives a **** is the dude that has a tank slapper with out a damper ....... now grow up a little and take some good advise and get a damper if you don't have one ! if you do , than you know better and just need to stfu !

It maybe old school , but it's the right school! :roll: Yea you are so correct I mean its been how long since we've seen a highside on the AMA or any other form of racing. RIGHT? Again your talking out of your ass I see, I guess you didnt read the link I provided about what Honda uses HUH? Maybe if you ignore it for a few pages it will go away, right? :mrgreen: Not that Im doubting your knowledge cuz you have proven to be so knowledgeable :roll: but I would like to see some data showing 99% of race teams using an Ohlins PISTON damper.....Have you always suffered from assmouth or can you walk your talk for a change? To the guy who asked the question, irregardless of how some putz tries to reword how I explained it, the bottom line is this the damper slows down the steering action when it tries to go into slap mode, that can only happen if the front or wheel breaks traction with the asphalt which can happen a variety of ways.

the one who gives a **** is the dude that has a tank slapper with out a damper ....... now grow up a little and take some good advise and get a damper if you don't have one ! if you do , than you know better and just need to stfu ! ... but how many times have you have to explain yourself to prove a damn point? :poke

You just get dumber with each post don't you ! I don't believe you know your ass from a hole in the ground , go figure you use a scotts on your streetbike LOL Honda uses their own kind , thus I put 99.9% Honda uses a eletronic type damper. :roll: Yea you are so correct I mean its been how long since we've seen a highside on the AMA or any other form of racing. RIGHT? Uh FYI the highside is caused by the rear tire breaking traction in a lean and then hooking back up suddenly which has nothing to do with a damper , the damper only trys to help out after the rear breaks traction and is not the cause of the damper ..... you watch too much T.V and would serve yourself better if you would do a few track days and gain some knowledge for how things work . thus you wouldn't be making stupid posts like this . until then I guess you'll just have to ride around with your head up your ass !

Last time I was there was in 1978 LOL so yea it's been a longtime , really nice city from what I remember , I pretty sure we used the Central expressway , cut through Los gatos and onto highway 9 ? to santa cruz ..... bitchin' ride ! either way ! damn that was a long time! I was only 2 years old that year. yeah it is decent city. ...I think it is the freeway 17. Maybe it used to be a Expressway and turned it into a freeway. check this link out from google maps I think that is the road you are referring too. 17 connecting to highway 9 http://maps.google.com/maps?q=los+gatos&ll=37.226563,-121.994753&spn=0.056885,0.113429&hl=en

Honda uses their own kind , thus I put 99.9% Honda uses a eletronic type damper. Uh yea I know but the word you failed to put next to electronic is ROTARY, you know the kind that no race teams use. LOL! Now where is all the data about the other so called 99.9% of race teams using the Ohlins piston type? My guess would be you cant do it.....am I right? Keep talking out of your backside after 670 posts Im unimpressed with your knowledge thus far.

Keep talking out of your backside after 670 posts Im unimpressed with your knowledge thus far. :gives what you think :jerkit ......... your prolly just another fatass behind a keyboard with no real skillz at riding anyway !!!

I guess thats the Newport Beach way of saying, " No sir, I cannot back up one single word Ive said in this thread nor can I cuz Im full of shit. Lastly, I dont appreciate you calling me out on my BS dribble out in the open, noones ever bitch slapped me the way you did." :hump LOL, ok now that another poser couldnt walk his talk Ill move along, nothing to see here folks.

This is getting better every day, we are NOW comparing our upgrades to AMA quality parts? LOL! Check it out wise ass ! I go to the AMA road races and every pro rider I've seen uses an Ohlin's ( Piston type ) damper , none of the pro riders use a rotary type damper because there made for dirt bikes. Oh man I didnt realize your skills were on par to the AMA gents, excuuuuse me! So now that you have a PISTON type Ohleeens damper I guess your now running with the big boys? Do you get my point? I wont hold my breath. I guess in your world you think buying a set of Ohlins forks or shocks means they are the same ones on the AMA machines eh? So Penske sucks? How about the Arrow, Jardines or any other big name exhaust we see on factory bikes I guess they're the same too? Lets fast forward to the use of a K&N filter, I suppose since race teams use them or a BMC filter we should all put them on our bikes too cuz that must mean HP gains, yes??? Unless you guys are hitting the tracks YOURSELVES and talking firsthand to real people with real budgets, dont even attempt to justify your BS. Michelins huh? I guess they're status quo now on the forum. :mrgreen: Not that they are bad tires, I mean how could they be Vale and Colin are using them right? :roll: Heres something I dug up that might make a good read: http://world.honda.com/motorcycle-technology/hesd/p2.html Based on the above-mentioned findings and deriving from the rotary-type steering damper technology applied to the MotoGP machine RC211V, the world’s first, variable damping-type rotary steering damper “HESD” from article above. Maybe we should give Honda a heads up on what we ALL know about Ohlins being number ONE? Mind you, Im not saying rotary dampers are the BEST Im not foolish enough to make those kind of claims, just letting the uninformed know that Ohlins dampers arent the only good choice. Yea those rotary type dampers are for the birds, I wonder what the majority of you guys thought about the HESD damper on the 1krr when it first came out. You notice what I put in bold, first you say not to compare the Ohlins that we can buy and the Ohlins that racers get, THEN you go on to talk about a one-off proprietary rotary damper for MotoGP to compare to Scotts. How was that supposed to strengthen your argument?

irregardless So we should listen to someone who makes up words? I think you were looking for regardless, ir- is a negative prefix, and if you put it on regardless you make essentially a double negative. Hmmmmm, listen to the guy who didn't even pass junior high grammar. :roll: :hammer

How was that supposed to strengthen your argument? Good God you guys are something stupid, two on one forum no less. My link was solely a REFERENCE to put that moron's "Ohlins PISTON dampers are the best, every race team uses one" BS to rest....that was all. I NEVER made any claim that any specific type of damper is better than the other. How on Gods green earth did you get my HESD damper reference to it being related to the Scotts damper is beyond me. What the hell are they putting in the water these days. :moon

Yo tart, let me spell it out for you, you said: So we should listen to someone who makes up words? So did I make the word up or is it in the dictionary? Since you like quotes: Its fairly widespread use in speech called it to the attention of usage commentators as early as 1927. The most frequently repeated remark about it is that "there is no such word." There is such a word, however. It is still used primarily in speech, although it can be found from time to time in edited prose. copied from> http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=irregardless I dont expect a mature reply since I have yet to get one in this thread. This is too freaking funny, I just made an ass out of two of you from dampers to vocabulary. ROFLMAO!

Fine you win, this is growing boring.

LOL! both links prove the word exists and that you're wrong but yet again. Actually Im bored trying to rationalize with you two, talk about beating a dead horse. Twice already Ive made my point proving you both wrong and twice you changed the subject....game over. Ride SAFE!

lmao.....all this over a damper :FU
