Topic: bolt on steering damper?

[jaguar]

anyone know where i can find a bolt on damper for a 76 CB750f?
if not what did you use?  will the small units from modern superbikes work?  how do you know if the unit will have enough travel?

Here's a  good post http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=10547.0
Partsnmore used to have good adjustable dampners for Kawi H1s H2s that fit our bikes. But they been out of stock for over a year now. You can also use the OEM ones from sport bikes that are non adjustable and cheaper on ebay.

i searched here and saw that post.
everything is either out of stock or no longer made

speedmotoco on ebay has them, 7 way adjustable, new for $70.  You then need to buy brackets to mount it.

There's no "bolt on" kits around anymore, mounting the "ram" end of the damper is no problem with most CB750's as there is a threaded hole in the lower triple for that purpose, but mounting options on the frame are more difficult. You either fab up a bracket and weld it to the frame (best option) or use a horribly ugly exhaust clamp to clamp a bracket to the frame. Cheers, Terry.

Nice seaweb.  I would think that would do it.  $49 isn't bad for the damper either.
