Title: Question About Ohlins Side-mount Damper Post by: Ivan on May 06, 2009, 04:10:58 PM For those that have the subject damper....
Any issues with the mounting bracket damaging the powder coat on the frame? Maybe I'm over-thinking this, but I'm worried about the possibility of the finish getting damaged, allowing the frame to rust.

It's been through lots of rain storms in Seattle, sun in San Diego and now frequent commutes out to the coast where I work in The Bay Area.

They wrote back stating it won't scratch up the frame or Ohlin forks.

I grab some scraps from a local installer. Title: Re: Question About Ohlins Side-mount Damper Post by: junior varsity on May 07, 2009, 05:01:42 PM you won't have a problem. besides, if there WAS any cosmetic damage, you wouldn't be able to see it, because the damper would be covering it.
Title: Re: Question About Ohlins Side-mount Damper Post by: Ivan on May 08, 2009, 12:46:43 PM Thanks for the feedback. They don't list a P/N specifically for the S2R1000. I assume that the damper kit for the S2R or S4R will fit (P/N: SD154 at Hardracing.com), can anyone confirm this? |
