Arrow sold one for a while that was top mount, but I think it is no longer in production. I'm not sure if Ohlins ever made a top mount for the S4RS.  [coffee]

I put this one together from ebay bits.  I think it is an R6 damper and I can't remember where I got the mounting.

You could also look for Bitubo or Matris steering kits.  Made in Italy and nice quality and function.

I think the mounting brackets I used were from Matris.  The do/did sell a kit for the S4R.

FYI I have to remove the damper to raise my tank - the bracket around the key and the one screw at the end of the damper rod.  The mounting arm can stay on the bars but you have to be careful the bars are mostly straight or turned to the left when the tank passes by.
