Title: Anybody want a Damper?
Post by: Slater1601 on July 20, 2007, 06:35:12 AM
The guy I bought my bike off used it on the track a couple times, so he threw in this damper with it. There are no markings on it, but everyone on WERA seems sure this is made by Daytona. The clamp is stamped "37" which I'm assuming means its for 37mm forks. Anyway, its in excellent condition. Make me a decent offer.

Thats the clamp, but I don't believe ProTek makes dampers.

Got me man. I don't know anything about them. I would imagine you can buy a 41mm clamp fairly easily.

Wrong size clamp for that style damper could potentially cause catastrophic failur in the fork tube at some point.    You could however buy that damper and contact pro-tek for a damper clamp in the appropriate size :thumb:

Title: Re: Anybody want a Damper?
Post by: Slater1601 on July 23, 2007, 07:22:05 PM
From what I've seen, they go for about $250 new. Make me an offer. Best offer so far is $70. Just holding out for a little more since it appears to be nearly brand new.
