• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

GPR Damper Question

Hi Guys

After some advice regarding a GPR V4 steering Damper.
Ive got a 2011 TE 310 which I reckon is an awesome machine, one of the best Ive ever owned!
I bought a GPR4 steering damper to fit to the bike and purchased a under bar mounting kit from Ballards Australia. They sent me the wrong mounting kit twice**************************************** They then sent me a set of 3
head stem posts. ( All the wrong size)
They have now been informed by GPR (USA) that they cant supply the correct mounting kit for the 2011----2013 TE 310 WTF****************************************!!!

Im thinking of pissing off the GPR and getting a Scott unit.Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated !!!
 
I would email GPR directly or give them a call if you can. Great people to work with. The have a kit listed for the TE 310.
 
Sorry to hear, Ballards are normally great. if ringing GPR is to no avail then try the scotts. You should have no probs returning the GPR one if Ballards sent you the wrong one (s)
 
Get a scotts. It dampens high and low speed, and lets the wheel return to center more freely. I think the motorsportz one does too so if they have that, its an option.

I have the gpr on my ducati hypermotard and it "works" as a STABILIZER. You set how hard it is to turn the bars and that is it. About the same as having bad stem bearings. Not much of a damper. It will stabilize the chassis/bars to help keep from getting headshake on some sportbikes, but once you start headshaking there is nothing really there that is going to stop it just "help".

The scotts allows the wheel to return to center more freely and will usually stop the headshake, and would help offroad in ruts and stuff.

I don't think someone gave you the correct info there. We have those units on Ty's 310s. I would call Randy at GPR.
The Scott's unit is superior in my opinion and is what I run and trust. It's a no-brainier for high speed desert racing. Stay clear of the new Ohlins unless you are SM.
