Gravesport is now offering the Ohlins linear type with mounting hardware, but it's gonna set you back about six bills with the mounting kit and steering stop limiter...

Yeah, the Ohlins is probably one of the best steering dampers out there for the R3, and Dimotiv Moto Gene has a really nice mounting bracket for it.

BikerBits Thailand has a YSS steering damper which for $192 is a pretty **** good deal. YSS is pretty decent stuff.

Not all Ohlins products are made equal. The Ohlins steering dampers on the 09+ ZX6Rs were meh. The adjuster didnt do much between max-min either. Where have you been man? Seems like you only post every few days now. I found a few of your beloved NSR's available in Japan. In fact every cool lightweight we wish was in the states seems to still be available there lol.Yeah, the Ohlins is probably one of the best steering dampers out there for the R3, and Dimotiv Moto Gene has a really nice mounting bracket for it.

Yes, sir. You basically died and ent to motorcycle heaven. I know you like this other spot you mentioned in Japan, but you have to go to Ueno!
Things have just been hectic. I like to hang out daily if I can. I was dragging ass on working on the R3 because of thinking that I "had all winter to do it." Winter has really been short here in NY. We had several mild days in Dec (50's + 60's). It'll be in the 70's next week. We basically had a 2.5 month winter. I want the Raven fully tricked out by end of March, which will hopefully include front fork cartridges and a rear shock which are about the only 2 things I have not gotten yet. I don't want to miss any Spring riding!
Yeah, haven;t been back to Japan in several years, but need to visit family soon. I wonder what is on the road now. I have been looking at bike manufacturers Japanese sites, and it seems that the models aren't as divergent as they've been historically. A lot of them are the same except I am guessing due to tiered licensing and displacement restrictions, the models vary basically over CC. Like the CBR500 is the CBR400 over there. The Grom is the Ape, IIRC. The Ape! ROFL!
