Otis Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 I have an Ohlins steering damper, from my old street bike. Question: Is there anybody on here that could fab up some kind of bracket/clamps so that i can use it on the banshee, or would i be better off(cheaper) just buying a banshee specific damper?

evil Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 it would probley be cheaper to buy a denton dampner but i could make you those brackets, depending on what the thing looked like, send me some pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldturtle Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 I believe I heard somewhere that the manufacturing rights for the Scotts stabilizer were purchased from Ohlins. If this is true then maybe the Scotts mounts might work. I have a Scotts stabilizer that I switch between two dirt bikes. Scotts has a mounting kit for about $130 to mount the Scotts on the Banshee. Give Scotts Performance a call and pick their brain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Posted March 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 evil- i'll get some pics soon. turtle- I remember reading something about Ohlins owning scott (and Yamaha have some kind of ownership in Ohlins), but that was ages ago, and i cant remember the details..... but the Scotts and Ohlins are 2 totally diff dampers...at least in this country. I 've seen on Ohlins that looks like a scott, but it was sold over seas somewhere... if nothing else, i have some tie wire in my tool box...

oldturtle Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 Otis, I just noticed a picture of an Olins damper on Honda's Baja winning TRX450R. This Ohlins is just exactly some as Scotts damper that we buy here. See page 38 in April 04 ATV Rider. If yours is same as Ohlins on the 450R, then I am quite sure the $130 mount kit from Scotts Performance will work. Could be however that Ohlins has different variations of their damper and yours might be different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Posted March 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 I've seen the "scotts style" Ohlins Damper, but just never here in the US.. Ohlins go to the bottom of the page...the one i have is just to the left < of the scotts style damper.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldturtle Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 Otis, OK, I see what you are talking about, and thanks for the education. Ohlins sure sells a lot of stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 otis, i looked too at the dampners on the ohlins site and its possible to make it work on the banshee. if its shorter then the denton i can just make the point at whitch it mounts to on the front of the frame longer. i can explain it better then i can write it. ill talk to you later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
