Title: Can anyone ID these clip ons, trying to find a steering damper for my Monster Post by: ajohnsto on May 04, 2011, 05:03:43 PM Hi everyone, I am trying to find a steering damper for my new bike but am unsure of what clip ons I have and which steering damper will work with them. I see that alot of people like the Matris M2 but they have been discontinued and I do not know what others are available. So my question is twofold what clip ons do I have and can someone recommend me a good steering damper for my 2000 M900. It does not look like I have the complete stock bar clamps is that correct? Here are the pics:

I'm looking for a steering damper as well, but have been considering a side-mount like one of these: http://www.ducatiperformance.com/ohlins-ducati-monster-side-mount-steering-damper-p-149778.html?cPath=22_29_156 (http://www.ducatiperformance.com/ohlins-ducati-monster-side-mount-steering-damper-p-149778.html?cPath=22_29_156)
What are the pro's and con's of each? Title: Re: Can anyone ID these clip ons, trying to find a steering damper for my Monster Post by: 671M900 on May 04, 2011, 08:48:51 PM They look like the woodcrafts, since they are two piece construction.

Even if you find one that fits your bike, it won't be very stable without the handle bar to keep things together. Side mounted is more rigid and works more directly, frame/fork. That's better, but doesn't look as good.

Title: Re: Can anyone ID these clip ons, trying to find a steering damper for my Monster Post by: JEFF_H on May 05, 2011, 11:58:34 AM im gonna guess Apex clip-ons based on how the bar mounts into the clamp
also if you decide on a side-mount damper, LSL makes one that is only $339 Title: Re: Can anyone ID these clip ons, trying to find a steering damper for my Monster Post by: Jarvicious on May 07, 2011, 06:55:26 AM I say go to the track without one. It will make you a better rider. Spend the money on something pretty :)

Side mounted is more rigid and works more directly, frame/fork. That's better, but doesn't look as good.

My race bike doesn't have one and doesn't need one. [bacon]
