Hello,

I was looking through OnCycles, but they're basically out. Any place where I could order a Matris for a 05 620?

Or any other top mounts that would fit?

Thanks,

Department of Suspension.

Yea, saw their page. It's under construction. Wasn't sure it was a legit company. Should I just call and place an order? Any experience with them?

Word of warning - Jason may NOT be selling Matris steering dampers anymore.

I know for CERTAIN he isn't selling the Matris fork kits.

BTW - Jason is the sole proprietor of Department of Suspension.

Great guy!!! waytogo

I guess I got lucky when I got my fork kit and rear shock and spring [moto]

It's my understanding that neither of them are carrying Matris anymore - just contact Matris direct. Other people have bought direct without a problem.

Yes, Dept. of Suspension is NOT carrying Matris any more. I spoke with Jason a few weeks back and he confirmed it.

 It's too bad no one in the U.S. is carrying Matris because they make great stuff.

 Hopefully another dealer/supplier will pick them up.

I'd like to know why everyone dropped them! It might not be super appetizing for anyone to pick them up right now as the market for Matris is a bit... well, screwed up. The two retailers offering them were offering 15+ % off all the time and cheaper to dump the end of the stock - now it seems everyone is looking for a super duper good deal on their products.

 According to Jason, Matris is super hard to deal with. He really didn't get into detail and I didn't press the issue.

I've been looking online for a damper, doesn't have to be Matris, and they are hard to find. I'm only seeing a $600+ Arrow....

I actually meant, WHERE can I buy a damper online. If I was looking to buy any other part there are a ton of places to go, but a top mount Steering Damper is not easy to find.....

Check with PJ's Parts.

They advertise Matris on their website.  Maybe they have a line?
