Steering Damper

(1/7) > >>

Albertan:
I'm going to install a Scott's steering damper, and I'm thinking the weld-on would be more rigid and effective than the bolt on version.  Any comments from members who run one?

Platypus:
Weld on is way more solid.  I have two bikes with dampers.  One is weld on one is bolt on.  Weld on is the only way to go imo. 

Albertan:
Thanks, that's exactly the feedback I was looking for.

Danger4u2:
My friend did my weld on.  Weld a little and let it cool, weld a little more, don't over heat the seal and bearings. I don't think Scott's offer a bolt on for the KX500.  No problems with the bolt on for the KX500AF (KX450F).

I need to say it was tig welded.

Albertan:
Thanks for the photos; these are great.  The welding advice is appreciated too.
