    Hey, looking for mounting options for a Scotts steering damper for my 2014 WR 300
    Would like to retain oem top clamp and just get new bar mounts, prefer top mount as I don't want to raise the bars at all
    What options do I have?
    Scotts site only showing SUB mount

    Thanks, pretty sure the KTM bolt pattern is different. My buddy has a SUB mount that I'm going to try. Hopefully raising the bars won't affect handling too badly. I was running taller bars for a while and I liked them for certain trails but overall the bike wouldn't turn as well. Another friend of mine had the Ohlins damper on his TE250 and it didn't raise the bars at all but it will def make your wallet thinner.

    How about Zip Ty's removable bar mount/stabilizer mount kit on a WR250/300?

    If it will work on a WR300, it'd be a way to get a Scott's stabilizer mounted without having to use a BRP sub mount. Again, keeping the bars at the stock height is what I'm looking for as well.

    Never mind on the above mount.

    Called Zip Ty yesterday. It will only fit Yamaha's. Won't work on our Italian WR's.

    I don't want to sub mount a Scotts either. Don't like the idea of raising the bar height another 2-3 inches or having to swab to a super low bar bend to compensate.

    If you find a solution.... please share.

    Funny, I'm trying to achieve the exact opposite on my '02 CR250. BRP/Scott's offers a weld on tower & standard top clamp mounted stabilizer for the older models (99-05). However, I run an HDB top triple clamp & guards and need the sub mounted version so everything can jive.

    Just an FYI, I think the stock bar clamp height is around 1.3-1.5", so the the sub mount will only raise it 1.0-1.2"

    You may want to call BRP or Scott's to see if you get something to work for your application. I was on the phone with BRP earlier today and they were very helpful.
