First time I have ever heard of such a thing. What is the purpose, and how do they mount?

Helps to keeping the front end from having a tank slapper.

I've often wondered why those OEM-installed screw-down dampers went out of style. They worked dandy, as I recall.
Hmmmmm- do you think a V-Max could be retrofitted to use one??:ummm:
Cheers!

HyperPro makes the bracket for mounting the shock. Total cost was $500 bucks 10 years ago,heres mine:biglaugh:

Did you notice much difference with the damper?

If you dont mind me asking....could you tell a difference all of the time...or only at high speeds. Did the bike feel more stable overall (and this is assuming that you didnt have issues with steering head bearings...etc)?

I did the furbur fix & got the best damper I could find after going through a frightening high speed tank slapper. My Max is much more stable now.Works great at high speed.The only time it wobbles, is when my front tire is wearing out but it's just a little.:biglaugh:

I just looked at your pics....It looks like your still running bias ply tires too.

I agree. The side mounted damper just looks wrong to me. The Hyperpro one looks like it belongs on the bike, in my opinion. I think I want one now.
