    Please excuse my lack of understanding.
    I really appreciate any help.

    I have an old Scotts/Ohlins steering damper from a Ninja ZX6R.
    It would be great if I could apply to my FE350.

    Never had a damper on a dirtbike before...
    I understand there are top-mount adapters, sub-mount adapters,
    and entire triple clamp assemblies that do the same.

    My question:
    Are the Scotts/Ohlins dampers all the same,
    and what's different is simply the bike-specific mounting applications?

    Or is this "roadbike" damper valved to function differently than an "offroad" unit?

    Thanks sharing for any knowledge :notworthy:

    Older units for the road dampen in both directions while the off-road only in one. Otherwise there were the same except mounting hardware.

    If I remember right Weantright is correct.... so its more like a GPR dampner....
