Steering Damper Kit

I bought this to install on my Kawasaki Z125 pro. There's no suitable bracket for this bike so, I need to customize it. Stability was immediately noticed once installed. For such a small bike, I need to adjust to the maximum at top speed. Overall, this is a very good damper.

It could be installed without removing the Tank. The work took about 90 minutes including adjustment.
It is hard to tell in city driving, but it can certainly be felt at high speeds.
I think in my case, it's mostly about looks lol.

My concern is that the stroked area will have oil residue.
When I inquired about it, the reply was that if I stroked it a few times, the oil seepage would disappear. 。 We are just taking a look at the situation.

well packed in the box during delivery,always never failed in the quality.fits well and looks good. stability in controlling the steering.

[How is it used?
Since I do a lot of touring on highways, I decided to install a steering damper to improve high speed stability. The product is FZ400. (4YR) It is for the FZS600, but it can also be used with the FZS600 without any problem.

Was the one you received as per Image?
The color of the DamperBody is Gold, which is like an OHLINS color. It's not a color that I don't like, but I would have preferred the ODM-2000 Series Gun meta color to match the body color, but I'm a little disappointed that I can't choose the color.

Was the installation difficult?
I adjusted the position of the bracket on the front fork side to be 40mm above the trifecta (the instruction manual specifies 51mm). Also, the pillow ball joint between the bracket on the damper body and the bracket on the frame side moves too much and makes a pushing noise when the damper body moves up and down. So, I inserted an O-Ring of an appropriate size into the pillow ball part to suppress the movement of the DamperBody. I also applied screw lock fluid to all the bolts used for installation and fixed them in place.

How was your experience with it?
Originally, I installed the Steering Damper for stability at high speed straight ahead, but I didn't expect that it would stabilize my posture while cornering and make cornering easier.
There are 7 levels of damper switching, but even with the 7th level, which is the heaviest, I didn't feel any inconvenience even when driving in the city. I usually use the 6th gear.
Initially I was going to use ODM-2000 in Gun meta color, but I changed Handlebar to Quantity:Pair (for Left and Right) I measured the amount of movement (Strokes) when cutting to 125mm in advance, so the Strokes were 125mm.:I decided that I might not be able to use the 120mm ODM-2000, so I purchased the Stroke 130mm ODM-3000. When I actually installed it on the car body, I found that if I devised a way to install it, it would be possible to use the Stroke:I felt like I could use Limit even with the 120mm ODM-2000.

[Included Parts:were they on?
All the necessary parts for installation are included.

[Was there anything that disappointed you?
It would be nice to have a choice of several colors for the damper body, and it's a little disappointing that when the damper is mounted on the car body, more than half of it is obscured by the Inner cover of the Upper Cowl.

Other items that would be helpful
Point and hang/notes for installation:It is better to install it on the car body in a temporary state to check the position of each bracket and make sure there is no problem with the movement of the Handlebar before tightening the Bolt.
Items to buy together:I think it is safer to use a low-strength screw lock fluid to secure the Bolt.

The InstructionManual for installation is not well explained and the printed photos are white and black, making it even more difficult to understand. (Lol)
I didn't have to worry about it, but I thought it would be better to have a good grasp of the mounting position and installation method before working on it.

As mentioned in the other reviewer's review, the old NHK Damper was so solid that it would not move when set to the highest load position, but the current Parts are designed for safety. But nowadays, the Damper is so solid that it doesn't move when it is set to the highest load position. (From the point of view of someone who knows the past products) It moves so smoothly that it seems to be missing something.
On the contrary, it moved smoothly even in the high load position, which made me uneasy, so I had to go back and forth to the place where the road surface condition was bad on the way to work, where the stain was always generated, to check if the steering damper was working properly.

The weakest state where the load is not applied is the same as the state where the steering damper is not equipped, etc. From the weakest state, 2Notch and 3Notch are set in the middle position, but in many road conditions, sufficient effect was obtained at this point.
In the places where Stain was the most frequent and mentally demanding, I had to load up the 1NotchDamper even more to get a sense of relief.

Still, I am very happy with the purchase of this product, as it will free me from the Handlebar Stain that has been plaguing me since I bought my W800, just by adding the Parts.
