DescriptionThe whole story▼
This is Öhlins' universal steering damper with 150 mm of stroke — the choice for machines without a dedicated kit, or for builders who make their own brackets. Universal parts are the right choice when no model-specific Öhlins unit exists.
Key Features
- Titanium-coloured body
- Universal unit — no vehicle-specific fitment
- Stroke 150 mm
- Mounting length min/max 36,5/397,5 mm
- Part number SD 005
Function
The body is sealed against dirt and water from the road. Damping is set with a click adjuster, and each position is a defined step. A damper that suddenly feels different is a sign that a service is due. A well-set damper lets the rider hold a line through a bump without fighting the bars. Mounting brackets are not included, because they depend on the frame and fork of the motorcycle.
Before You Order
Check the stroke, length and mounting against your motorcycle before ordering. Clearance to cables, hoses and fairing parts should be checked through the full movement. When in doubt, a photograph of the front of the motorcycle helps us advise. The mounting length at both ends of the stroke must fall within the unit's range. Where the bracket sits decides whether 150 mm of stroke is enough.
Maintenance
A setting that works on one track day can be written down and repeated on the next. Racing machines use steering dampers almost without exception. It is worth checking clearance to tank and fairing with the bars at full lock.
Road Approval
Road approval: there is no approval tied to a particular motorcycle, because the damper is universal. On a road-registered bike the mounting may need an inspection — check with us first.
Fitting and Setup Service
A universal part needs a careful fit. We are an authorised Öhlins service centre and can take on the installation — send us an enquiry.
