Can anyone post some pics of Kawasaki dampers with an outboard disc setup?

i know the anti-dive looks odd but it works extremly well. i had to twist the damper tops inboard a little as they fouled the mudguard . tbh they are s**t

yeah they do look like they are at a funny angle, How come they are fouling your mudguard.

Do you mean the dampers are s***, oh no what have i done

sef

they foul the bottom of mudguard if mounted in line with damper brackets due to length.
the dampers are s**t as they damp both ways .
my advice is sell them and find some that damp one way

honesty appreciated mark

I agree with Mark. Steering dampers are designed for a different purpose to suspension dampers. Steering dampers damp in both directions. Suspension dampers in just one.

I don't look at a scooter with Kwacka style dampers and thing "Cool", I think "here's a bloke who knows nothing about suspension"

The best OE dampers are the fat Spanish ones, though you need to make new mounts for them. Escorts aren't bad, apparently and go on the original Italian mounts or after market kits. Rich Presley's damper kits are very good quality, and you can also get them from Frank Sanderson. They need fork mods to fit, but look cool and do the business.

or just go full outboard like mine bought the kit and did all the work myself was a bit of a nause as the suppliers instructions were not that good but frank sanderson gave me some help even though the kit was not supplied by him top bloke if you ask me

these dampers work correctly , new from bgm (scootercenter cologne).

pros: they should work very very good, adjustable, slim, fittings like original, no adaptor needed.
cons: expensive (over 150.-gbp / pair) , not really good looking on a classic line.

Nice! Been waiting to see what those BGM front dampers would be like. Let's hope they are as good as their rear shocks.

wow! the new BGM dampers are very very interesting!!!!
