Freez I know you were undecided on the fork spacer mod, how do you feel now after running them for the last few months?

Hunday, I had the same feeling. I went to Stellenbosch and back the other day and as soon as I hit around or above 140km/h it starts feeling a bit unstable. Funny though it was only the way back when the weather had worsened.

Just try lowering the air pressure in the front tyre first then if that doesn't help have someone check the bearing in your steering as a few people had a problem with them.

Well here you go, OTR fitted a Scotts damper on XT.

But they don't have this as an option in their e-shop. Should talk to Thorsten separately if interested probably.
Not much left from the original front end though :P almost all are aftermarket parts on this picture.

Top speed is not what i would be interested of. I can use a turbocharged busa if I want 5 gear wheelies :P


I do quite a lot of sand driving, the damper would be pretty useful there.

Scott's / Ohlins damper
 
I run that damper (scotts / Ohlins) on my husky enduro bike. Once you've ridden with one you wont ride without one.

I would like to get a mount for my road bike. Things like hitting a pothole cranked over at 120kmh tend to upset the front of the bike and the damper would just add that additional confidence.
