[QUOTE="Matt90GT, post: 1341208, member: 30871"] Education 101 for you MUDPACk: Read page 14: [url]http://hrca.honda.com/Press/pdf/08CRF250-450R_PKit_lr.pdf[/url] What do you see there? Let me paste it for you: "As the name Progressive Steering Damper infers, the damping action of the unit progresses over the range of travel.<b> From straight-ahead mode to approximately five degrees of movement in either direction (which are very small changes from off-center), HPSD creates minimal damping force, resulting in neutral steering during straight-line running.</b> As handlebar movement increases and the damper rod extends farther, damping force increases smoothly to produce very natural steering characteristics and feel." WHy does it take at least the 5* of movement? Easy, becuase of how it is mounted. It is mounted vertical on the bike. It takes the 5-10* for it to start extending from full collapsed in the center vertical position. That is the limitation of the design. Second the MX bonx kit while designed for the honda can be made to work on any bike. They use to have pics on kawis and suzukis posted there of the kit installed. Pretty simple really, install a tower in the steering stem, then drill and mount it to the lower clamp. Sounds pretty universal really. And it is. Enjoy the education. If you want to see it in action, go to your local honda dealer and get the bike on a stand. You can feel the lack of resistance on center and 5-10* out like honda states. I have been playing with them since 07 when the 08 CRFs were released. But still like my 22mm clamps without the damper. [/QUOTE]
