which steering damper for M800

[Roaduser]

i agree entirely, was more saying that i knew my monster wasnt setup as good as it could to start with but time on the gsxr highlighted that even more. not trying to equalise or even comparing as such, just opening my eyes. from a family of harleys, vintage jap and dirt bikes so this road bike handling thing was a bit of a shock.

i have a lot of room for improvement in my riding as well and could make a start sooner rather than later with a front end i have more confidence in.. hence the thought of a damper. but ill now use my three month riding ban (thank you officer) to put a 999 front on and a rear shock.

still undecided on the rear shock. looks like i could make an 848 showa work with a 748 adjustable link on my monster. 848 has quite a low piggy back reservoir and is bout 10.5mm shorter which the 748 rod should be able to cover, it'd just need a respring. not overly expensive to do so i might buy the parts and see what i can do if no one can tell me for certain it wont work.

Any one tried it? ive spent a good hr or so on search, but cant determine a firm answer.
