250-500cc damper on WR300

[ks9mm]

Does anyone has steering damper on their WR250 or 300? if yes, what make?

thanks!

Scott's with the BRP mount, nice stuff...

I have a GPR on my 300. It is OK, but I preferred the Scott's I had on my 250.

I run Scotts undermount and feel its the best for me since it only stabilizes away from center but not towards center which keeps going where I wanna go.
That link looks like what you want as long as its the correct year/model.
The only cheaper way would be if you could find a Scotts stabilizer on eBay since the stabilizer will bolt up to any Scotts mount.

thanks, I was going to do Motorportz again, as I really liked it first time around on my TE510, but kelly has no solution for WR300 at this time..

I am considering just getting mount kit from BRP and picking up used damper on ebay..

so all scotts dampers are the same? meaning they will mount the same way?

I have the mount for the steering neck off my 07 wr 250 you can have if you cover shipping. I will take a picture of it when I get home.

Yup the Scotts stabilizers are the same, I'm sure they've done some updates over the years but The bolt holes should all line up in any of the mounts.

thanks! do you think it will fit 09 WR300?

Here is what I have. Inside dimensions are around 2.350 Not sure what the grinder marks are for but it should work fine.

I use that same mount BUT I put a tack weld on both sides to make sure maybe that is what those grinding marks are

 

[Tenmen]

The Scott Damper that I fitted is just the best,it took out all the head shake on the black top and I no longer find myself going bush when i hit a loose rock.
Had to grind the weld a little as per instructions.
On opening the delivery box it was so well presented that it was a shame to fit it to the bike.

bit the bullet and ordered full kit from BRPmoto

thanks all!

why you need steering damper!!

grind marks on the frame clamp above are so the the bar mount bolts will miss the clamp. It is a super tight fit in there.

 

[ks9mm]

got mine installed. did not do any grinding.. just straight fit..

KS9mm - Just curious why you have the forks pushed to high in the triple clamp? Are you trying to lower the whole bike?

yeah.. cheap way to lower the bike..temporary.. till I either learn to ride tall bike or do proper lowering..

 

[Jhunter]

Yep, I understand. The Husky's are quite tall. As you probably know, the rear 'sag' should be about as low as you can get it. You may get some high speed head shake out of the front so proceed with caution on fire roads or fast quad trails... Good Luck - JH

That's probably why you think you need a steering damper. Running the forks like that with proper sag in the rear is going to really screw up the bike's geometry and make it super twitchy.
