[mitchell]

do they work? which one to buy? which mounting do you like weld on or clamp on ? thanks in advance for your help.

I just asked about this not to long ago, if you go back to page 4 you can read the responses. Under Scotts or W.E.R. I just ordered the W.E.R. it should be in any day now.

I use the W.E.R it's cheaper than Scotts but either one is a good choice. It made a noticable improvement in my bikes handling.

I bought the bolt on and was able to line it up with a hole in the frame so no drilling was needed.

I've got a WER on the way! YeeHaw!! (THANKS mrs. canyncarvr!! What a sweetheart!!)

Scotts makes notes of problems when using their unit with isolated (bushed) handlebars (as with the kdx).

Scotts doesn't fit under most straight crossbarred handlebars.

Scotts is expensive!!

The less distance 'tween the point of deflection and the damper, the better. I'd much prefer a WER for that reason alone.

Yeah...the Scotts has more adjustment features (º of damping) and is easily adjustable on the fly. I'll get over it.......;)

Anyone I've talked to that rides with one says they will NEVER ride without one!

I just got my W.E.R. tonight, will be putting it on this weekend. Looks very simple to install. Bolts right under the fender and a bracket on the frame, with one bolt going through the frame.

Check "my gallery" for pics of installed WER on my KDX and my KTM. I love it.

i agree ,they work great and now u won't ride w/out one.ride safe all.

I have the WER and it is amazing. One of the best add-ons ever for my KDX. Confidence inspiring. Much cheaper than the Scotts and bolts right on.

Hey CC,
Congrats on the damper. Looks like I'm gonna have to wait 'till Christmas for mine. Mrs. ChuckyBoy is not as understanding as Mrs. CC!
Enjoy and please let us know your impressions on the unit.

Thanks,
Chuck
