1200 DVT Dvt Steering Damper Question

Discussion in 'Multistrada' started by HootOwl, Mar 28, 2020.

  1. I am struggling to find a steering damper kit for a post 2015 Mutley DVT. The only one I can see is the Ducabike unit which attaches to the fuel cap mount and I am not keen on that. Strain on a plastic fuel tank doesn't sound good. It also (IMO) looks an abortion

    I can find decent looking damper kits for the Multi 950 and for the earlier Multi 1200's (rotary type) but there seems to be bugger all for the 1200 DVT's - does anyone know of anything I have missed ?

    Ta :)
     
  2. somebody already has done one from a Enduro Mutley, he posted all the part numbers up, wasn't cheap though.
     
  3. You can bolt-on the 2016 Multistrada Enduro damper on the 1260.

  6. I found a complete assembly of steering damper c/w mounts on eBay Germany that has been taken from an Enduro so I have snatched it up. It's not adjustable, but it was only 158 quid all in, which I reckon has to be worth a shot. If it will fit, I can look to maybe upgrade the damper part later. If it doesn't fit - I guess I chuck it back on eBay :)

    Always assuming it gets here of course with all this Covid BS going on at the mo :(

    I have always fitted steering dampers to every bike I had, cos I prefer the steering a bit heavier. The Multi may/may not need one, but my little voice says fit one and I will have more confidence, even if it makes little difference in reality (like lots of peeps are with tyres maybe?)....so that is the plan

  7. Has anyone been able to mount a rotary type damper to a late model Multi?
     
  8. Easy bold on? Did it add some good stability to the front end? I always had Ohlins on my BMW's and track bikes with excellent results.
     
  9. Yes and Yes. :)
     
  10. Excellent and thank you for the information. I will order one today!
