Have an Ohlins steering damper?

Can anyone w/ an Ohlins steering damper post up some mounting pics? I am seeing various ZX examples on fleabay going for a little over $100.
Ohlins
A few mods to mount it up and viola! I'm thinking this will be my next project??

Although it'd be decent, the ohlins damper that came stock on the zx-6 isn't on par with a true ohlins damper. They were cheaply made & the valving and adjustability isn't as good.

Just an fyi.

The price is right, and if you can make it work, then go for it.

I did some research and read about issues you speak of. What I am specifically looking for is some pics of one mounted up on the Superhawk. For $65 plus shipping, I think it's worth my time.

Here is one put on a Duc.


Mikstr has one if I recall. Hoping he chimes in...

I saw that. Looks like he tapped right into the frame???

Hoping to go this route. I'd like to see where others attached to the rad support?
