WTB steering damper from 4 valve K100
« on: May 28, 2011, 05:20:46 PM »
Want to try one on my K1100 sidecar rig without paying the BMW "pennies to maintain" price.

Good luck finding a used one in good shape. They're very rare.
Once I had a Collie pup. Dug a hole and covered him up. Now I sit there by the hour. Waiting for a Collie-flower.

Gary,

I know your friend Claude,

leading links are OK, but I ditched mine (and sold it to Claude) for center hub steering.



its an old picture, been a few changes since then.

amazing what spending the winter in the barn with a MIG welder and a Harbor Freight pipe bender will get you.

Way cool, I always liked CHS design.

Purchasing a 2005 VStrom D 1000 next week. Got the urge to hack it with Claude's new sidecar creation named the Metro.

Holy cow! I can't imagine what it takes to design and implement something like that.  Looks cool. :mbird
