*Updated* Mounted ZX-10 steering damper

Post by Bryan468 » Mon Apr 22, 2019 6:57 pm


For those who didn’t know. I did end up making a batch of steering damper mounts to sell and I will continue to make them as long as there is a demand for them. I made a couple changes to the mounts I’m selling to improve clearance and appearance.

Here’s some updated pictures.

Awesome job Bryan468! Powder coat the brackets black and it would look stock.

This is the finished product for now. Over the winter I will either powder coat or anodize the mounts. Next project is some bar risers. Going to see if I can get away with a half inch!

Thanks, I plan to powder coat or anodize them over the winter. I will have some bar riser plates to do as well.

Wow, you guys are so talented it's ridiculous. I could never even conceive...... We all benefit from you all's ingenuity.

Good luck with the handlebar risers, that will be challenging.

Well I would give most of the credit to cooter and his buddy on this one. If it wasn’t for them doing it I never would have tried it. It was a challenge though... I spent about 5 days working off and on on this project!

Thanks... I’m about to start working on them now. Worst case... if I can’t get away with 1/2” I will just mill the bar spacers down to 10mm since we know that will work.

Impressive work, Bryan. Thanks for the step by step, not that I could do it, but it's nice to see the whole process.

As for handlebar risers, I have the Beet 10mm risers (and like them). Personally, I don't think I'd want anything higher as the controls would begin to contact the fairing at the steering stops.

Thanks, ya I didn’t expect many people to be able to make these mounts. I figured some would find it interesting to see the process and finished product though.

I currently have one side done for the bar risers. There are some limiting factors that I will post about when I’m all done but I was able to clamp the bars down at about .590” and move them full lock to lock with no problems.

I prefer my levers to be relatively close to the angle of my arms in the riding position so I don’t have to bend my wrist to much to grab the brake or clutch lever so that helped with clearance.
