Most of the units that have leaked were new (only done 1 - 2 meetings) and of the 9 guys I know using them 3 have leaked.(near enough to 30%?) They are all on race bikes. Just an observation not trying to bag the GPR's perhaps they are fine on road and maybe our tracks are a bit more aggressive?

Thanks for the reply Steve. Hope I'm in the other 66% that don't have leakers. If it's that bad I'll return it and get the factory Ohlin damper.

For sure I will have a damper. Only been out twice and don't like the head shake. Of course it will get better as I learn more about setting up the bike and learn how to ride.

it's a pity there al linear in damping..

I'm trying to figure out a GRP style mount for a Ohlins damper ( SD 415 )
you can adjust the angle off damping , to make for example the first 20 deg. stiffer and the rest a little looser to make turning on tight circuits / roads a little easier.

that can be a pain if the damper is set to stiff,
ideally set you should have no notion of the damper being on the bike

Just checked my bank account. Total charge for the Trojan Dampener was $539.74 W/ shipping which you only get the choice of the mail service to the US. 2-3 weeks is what they told me on delivery. 170 here we come?

Hi Les,
Your damper shipped today, so you will have it on Monday I believe : ) You will notice that it has a little more bling than in the original photo : ) Hope you like it.

I have found that having a light grip on the bars really minimizes the head shake. Until recently, under WOT I was hanging on by the bars, which magnifies the head shake quite a bit. Now I am trying to grip with my legs (thanks gripskins) and keep my arms nice and relaxed (as close to 90 degress at the elbows as possible).

Man thats fast. I chose yall's for the factory bolt in NO drilling necessarry if I see right. and been tested on the 25R. not to mention looks great. Thanks Trojan/

Be getting the carbon soon, But got to let the $'s build up a little more. Looks slick and quality is there but that stuff is HIGH.

Thanks again,
