DescriptionThe whole story▼

With 68 mm of stroke, this Öhlins steering damper is sized for a particular range of steering lock. It is sold without a vehicle-specific mount. Where Öhlins offers a dedicated kit for your motorcycle, that kit is usually the simpler route.

Key Features

  • Not tied to one motorcycle
  • Blackline finish
  • Öhlins SD 008
  • Mounting length min/max 34,5/231,5 mm
  • Stroke 68 mm

How It Works

The adjuster range is wide enough to cover a light naked bike and a heavy sports tourer. Weight at the front, tyre profile and fork setup all influence how much damping a bike needs. Fitting position is a trade-off between protection, access to the adjuster and full stroke. Road riders tend to run fewer clicks than racers, because comfort at low speed matters more. On a track bike the damper is often set firmer than on a road machine used at lower speeds.

Fitment

Universal parts are the right choice when no model-specific Öhlins unit exists. The mounting length at both ends of the stroke must fall within the unit's range. Where a dedicated Öhlins mount exists for your model, we will point it out. Because the unit is universal, there is no vehicle list — the dimensions are what count. A damper with 68 mm of stroke that runs out of travel will limit steering lock — measure first.

Setup and Service

Stroke has to match the full steering lock; a damper that bottoms out limits the turning circle. Checking the mounting bolts is part of every service, because loose brackets cost damping.

Road Approval

Road approval: a universal steering damper carries no vehicle-specific approval. Whether an individual inspection is required depends on the motorcycle and the mounting — ask us before ordering if the bike is registered for the road.

Fitting and Setup Service
