weaving front end cured

[geecy1]

After phoning around, the estimates for fitting a 748 top fairing to my S2R were becoming a dream. As much as i like the idea £1200-£1500 using second hand parts made me shelve it. So i fitted a steering damper and its cured the unstable front end completely ,£260 sounds a lot better.

probably does a better job too...

Alex.
ps.plus it looks good.

In what way was it unstable?,mine seems fairly solid.
At particular speed? or road conditions?

[geecy1]

Normal road conditions feels like aquaplaning but does'nt do it anymore.

Did it also feel (when on roundabouts etc) that the front wheel was slipping away slightly?

Thats what I have...and the speed thing.

So it sorted it then huh?

Where did you get it from?

Mine does this but only with a full tank, however my old 600 did it too. :confused:


Must be something to do with weight distribution, but not sure what.

Did it on bends as well, got the damper from Spareshack and was for an S4R took a chance it would fit and is fine. I will give it a better test on Sunday when i go on the Ace run but so far no problems at all.
