Model of bike: 1999 Ducati Monster M900

Make/Model of damper: Motowheels Under-Triple Billet Damper Mount with Generic 68mm Ohlins Damper.

Why you chose this damper: Different than purse-snatcher, unable to mount triple-oriented dampers.

Ease/difficulty of mounting: Ease. Mounting point 1 affixes to frame, sweeps in front of reg., mounting point 2 is fork clamp. Using another manufacturers damper with slightly longer stroke could be better and limit lock-to-lock of steering less.

Other mods you have that could affect mounting (e.g. handlebars, triple clamp, etc.): CycleCat Top Triple, CycleCat Clipons - Install was unaffected due to mounting location.

Type of riding you do (street / track): Spirited Street

Comments on performance: Noticeable increase in composure around damn near most turns. Good adjustability.

I'm not going to lie, this had zero instructions so I can only assume everything is correct.

MonsterMash,

How did you use hte S4 mount with that top tripple. I have wanted new triples for a while, but dont want to drop the $400 on a  new damper.

I had to drill and tap holes for the mount. No worries, you can use this triple without the damper. Well if you can find one that is. 

hmm I'm thinking of getting clip-on bars soon, will that limit my choice in dampers?

specifically, anyone know what damper will fit with rizoma or tomaselli clip-ons?

I have clipons - on my older frame Monster, there were all the normal options so long as i didn't change triples. I did change triples so that meant I was limited to purse-snatcher (side-frame mounted) or the under triple unit I went with.

if you don't change your triple, you should still be able to mount it using the stock bar risers (without Bar) and mounting holes/brackets.

Dint'nt see any for Arrow so I thought I'd post..

Model of bike: 2007 S4R

Make/Model of damper: Arrow Competition

Why you chose this damper: Quality, reputation and price. Mostly for track use, noticed a little high acceleration/speed head vibration. Plus helps settle the chassis from down shifting and turn-in setup.   Lowered triple a little to improve turn-in, hopefully helps settle that out too.

Ease/difficulty of mounting: Easy, Easy, Easy  20 min. Only problem is you got to dissconnect it to lift the tank, did'nt see that coming Plus had to tweak the steering stops to prevent hitting the tank.  No biggie..

Other mods you have that could affect mounting (e.g. handlebars, triple clamp, etc.): lowered triple ~10mm.

Type of riding you do (street / track): both

Comments on performance: WOW! a huge difference.  Smooths things out tremendously even at minimum setting.  Hav'nt taken it to the track yet.
