Scotts damper for 990 - where to buy?

miguez · 08-12-2011, 10:06 AM

Howdy folks. I've read a bunch around here and have decided to buy a Scotts steering damper instead of the other choices that are out there.

I would also like to raise my bar at the same time. Does anyone know if the full kit (about $700 on Scotts website) raises the bar? Also, is there a better price deal than buying the kit (damper + triple clamp)? Perhaps a place that gives ADV or AMA members a discount? My 990 is a 2008, if that makes a difference.

Thanks!

There is a ADV specific damper that does not require you to change the triple cmamps - that should work out a lot cheaper, I'm sure some-one will chime in with the manufacturer.

I got my sub-mount upper triple & damper for about $625 @ www.ktm-parts.com

I had to pay tax, they are only 12 miles away!

Nice kit though, SO complete... I think it was worth it

Black Dog Cycle Works has em.

I just got an Emig from KTMtwins. They also carry the Scotts. On my last KTM (450EXC) I had the BRP Scotts kit. That was really nice and about the same price. You can get it directly from BRP's website. They are all around $700 shipped.

Howd you get it for 625? They have it on the site for 700 right now.

Any suggestions on where to find just the mount parts?

Noticed that renazco racing has them for $664 and they offer a 10% adv discount. Brings it to just under $600, that was the cheapest I've found yet

Jeeze I just had to buy a $500 helmet yesterday. Time to sell my r/c stuff but by then I'll probably want some boots! When does it ever end...

I purchased the Ralle Moto unit for my 990 about 2000 miles ago. It took about 10-15 minutes to install. Search the forum on Ralle Moto and make your own decision, just be sure to grind down the post as others have noted. I had a good experience dealing direct.

It is a good unit, but is not as precise as my GPR on my 450. http://www.rallemoto.com/contents/en-us/d27.html

I got the triple and stabalizer. It mounts up very cleanly. It moves it forward and up.

ktm-parts.com offers a 10% discount on all equipment when you sign in. It's easy money, hence the good deal. Renazco may be cheaper right now, but generally ktm-parts.com will be handy day in / day out.

And yep, I got mine a while back (when I hat the Katoom, I'm a poor Vancouverite as compared to a cashed up Brisbanite right now) and it worked a treat. Great investment; but do your suspension first! (If you haven't already)
