The reactive units are usually more expensive. Though I have seen very expensive units that ar NOT reactive. I would call or email Bitubo if it was me. You can't get a Matris hardly anymore but they are a great unit. No feeling of it when pushing the bike around or doing parking lot stuff but like I said when over "5" you can feel it when moving along...

Matris... do they have top mounts? I seem to go down every year, and if iit was a side mount it would be destroyed.

Maybe i can go hunt for them. unless they just dont make them.

Last time I checked the M4R was not made in a top mount and was the only one that was reactive vs constant. Things may have changed (I bought mine 2 years ago). The hard part will be finding a US dealer. Maybe you can go direct to Italy. There was supposed to be someone taking up the slack in the US but I seem to have misplaced that info. If you search here under my nick or Matris M4R you should be able to find the thread in which I put the contact info....

I had my S4Rt for about 2 months without one.  I put on a hyperpro frame mount and it has been great.  If you really like to push your bike hard it just smooths thing out on hard accelerations.  NY potholes are another reason for tank slappers.  Put one on He Man.  Just takes a ride or two to get used to slow turning with it on.  You'll wonder why you didnt have one before.

I have a Scotts on my 900 and it does great and looks great too

Oooh damn!     I had a Scotts on my R6 and loved it, last I checked they didn't make a Scotts mount for the S2R though...  maybe something about the immobilizer...   

Not a big fan of side mounts either... Will have to check out that M4R...

[RVA Duc]

yeah i'm not a big fan of side mounts either

I wish there were more under the triple mount options.  I guess its just a matter of tapping some threaded holes for a bracket...
