: GRP damper
Da1000RRStuna 01-09-2004, 03:37 PM picked it up lastnight..looks like a sweet piece..much easyer the adjust then the scotts,pretty simple,one knob,no clicks it turns smooth with the littlest turn it stiffens up..the mounting bracket is much better then the Scotts and faster to mount,no stupid lil alankey bolts to turn,very clean looking..im impressed cant wait to slap it on and try it out when the weather gets warmer..

Anonymous 01-09-2004, 04:33 PM is it the same size of a scotts, looks smaller in the pics. :?
Da1000RRStuna 01-09-2004, 04:41 PM its about the same size..i think it weights a little more then the scoots from what i remember..
its heavy duty! that mounting bracket is nice and thick very nice looking damper..
thats it..my 600RR is complete..cant wait till the weather gets nice..
cbrjimmy1KRR 01-09-2004, 06:26 PM looks pretty good. i bet a blind man could adjust that sucker!!! :shocked:
keep us updated big guy :)
Wheelie 01-10-2004, 07:43 AM Can you adjust it with your left hand or right hand while you are riding? weeeeeee
Da1000RRStuna 01-10-2004, 09:50 AM are you kidding me? :roll: yes you can..
Anonymous 01-10-2004, 10:19 AM AHHH CRAP! Dam Stuna I just bought a Scotts. I left a post for you over at 954.com
Had a question bout the Scotts. I remember some guy saying he crashed on a wheelie and he blamed it on an improperly installed Scotts damper. Is their any tricks or hints I need to know to install it correctly, or is it easy. Let me know. :? [/list][/b]
Da1000RRStuna 01-10-2004, 12:30 PM read the directions..its easy..just use some Loctite on ever screw..
or see if they will refund your $..I never liked the Scotts..tomuch bullshit to deal with on that damper..
as for the guy who crashed ,it wasnt the dampers fault..
cbrjimmy1KRR 01-10-2004, 01:56 PM i think we came to the conclusion that it was user error. ...mounted up wrong. i was looking for the thread, but couldn't find it :roll:
fukinnuts 01-10-2004, 02:32 PM Stuna,how much did you pay?Looks like a good damper.
4passin 01-10-2004, 03:47 PM I crashed a wheelie when I had the scotts on.... but it wasn't me who blamed it on the damper.... I just fucked up.. :lol:
I believe they are the same GPR and scotts, just the mounting is different and adjustment knob is bigger on the GPR.
Good luck with it Stunna.
Da1000RRStuna 01-10-2004, 04:06 PM i got it for $380 shipped..
yeah its the same idea as the scoots but just a little different..better mounting hardware and easyer to adjust and like i said it looks more solid/heavy duty..i like trying new things so ill try this out,if it doesnt feel good to me ill sell it and get a Olhins :wink:
Anonymous 01-10-2004, 09:09 PM I like the mounting bracket...
Post some pics of it installed...
Anonymous 01-11-2004, 09:23 AM Thanks Stuna for the reply. I'll sell the Scotts and order me a GPR, sounds much better 8)
Da1000RRStuna 01-11-2004, 09:36 AM those are just my opinions..put it on and try it out ,if you dont like it then sell it..
I still didnt get a chance to try out the GRP so who know!! it might be a piece of shit :lol:
Anonymous 01-11-2004, 09:43 AM K, thats a better idea. I'll try that :D Thanks again 8) By the way, how do you sign in as a member. Says I'm a guest?
fukinnuts 01-11-2004, 02:08 PM Stuna,where did you buy the damper?
Da1000RRStuna 01-11-2004, 02:56 PM I got it from my boys over here they own a repair shop..there the only shop that can get them in NYC area..or mail order/intrernet but I rather give them the $..$380 shipped aint bad..plus once everyone gets alook at it and ask's where i got it from im sure they will sell alot more because of me.. :wink:
Anonymous 01-12-2004, 06:14 PM Any Lockhart Phillips dealer can get them. I still would never go to a GPR if I already owned a Scotts..... Keep that shit...
Da1000RRStuna 01-12-2004, 07:08 PM I had the Scoots and i didnt like it..tomuch of a pain in the ass to adjust it on the fly with that small ass knob..the Ohlins was great!! but I like trying new shit out,the GRP looks like a nice damper so ill let you all know if its a good piece..
Anonymous 01-13-2004, 12:13 AM Didnt Ohlins have something to do with the design of the Scotts????
Da1000RRStuna 01-13-2004, 12:53 AM yeah they did..I think it is a Ohlins with the Scoots name on it..imnot sure how that works..
but I just found the GRP for $350 on the net..my boys :roll: name some good $ off me..unless this place is buying cases of them..
dwl954rr: How much do you want for your Scott's

olderRR. 01-18-2004, 03:46 PM Stuna! Do you really think the 600RR needs a damper? I figured out myself that the 954 REALLY needed a damper. Just wondering.
BTW, That damper looks nice.
fukinnuts 01-18-2004, 06:10 PM All bikes should have dampers.They should come stock. :twocents:
Da1000RRStuna 01-19-2004, 01:37 PM when your topped or just pushing it a little bit in a turn and you hit one of the transactions/bumps from black to cement and you get a some nice head shake(like i did)and you almost shit your self!! yeah a damper is a good idea..
it happened once before my suspension work..I didnt get a chance to test the bike out with the suspension but I had the $ so I ordered a damper over the winter.
my bike is done..
but now im thinking about making it might go by by :wink: and be a trackday only bike :eek:
I think the 1000RR will look sweet in my garage 8) im still undecided..
I love that 1000RR but I got this kid on the way so maybe ill just put my ego to the side and stay with the 600.. :x
cbrjimmy1KRR 01-19-2004, 06:31 PM stuna saying something containing common sense??? WTF???? First he talks about getting a Susucki and now THIS!!!!!!! what is this world coming to. :omfg:
JFWY big guy :D
Da1000RRStuna 01-19-2004, 07:59 PM Jim you crack me up.. :lol: I was lmao reading that!!..I know!! what was I thinking :eek:
fuck going slower on 600..ill just get the 1000RR and some life insurance!! there does that sound better? more like me? :P
Anonymous 01-19-2004, 09:34 PM You guys are crazy...
cbrjimmy1KRR 01-19-2004, 10:09 PM now that's more like it :picknose:

cbrjimmy1KRR 01-21-2004, 08:49 PM $348 ?? that would be why there are NO bids. :lol: :P
Anonymous 01-25-2004, 11:38 AM I just put a scotts on my 954 the other day and went riding. I still need to fiddle with it a little bit but its working very well. Huge difference, try what stunna said. I really like mine I did a 105mph wheelie, landing was real smoth.
Stunna are you a pops yet :!:
:yoda:
Anonymous 01-25-2004, 05:44 PM $348 is alot for that damper....
I am suprised that you guys think a Scotts is hard to adjust on the fly. I have no problem with mine and I am running with bulky Icon TiMax gloves....
Da1000RRStuna 01-25-2004, 06:11 PM $348 is alot for that damper....
what you mean by "that damper" :? :eek:
Anonymous 01-25-2004, 06:34 PM $348 is alot for that damper....
