Just installed the GPR today at lunch. It was a easy instillation that took about 10 min. The hardest part was tracking down a 35mm socket to tighten the new short aluminum head bolt that came with it so that the damper could fit over the mounting plate. Stock bolt is too tall.
A GPR company official told me NOT to tighten the new aluminum head bolt to the stock steel bolt torque setting because I would strip it. The stock torque is 76 lbs.
(good thing I called him because they mentioned nothing of this in the instructions.)
Place the mounting plate over the top triple clamp. Align it to the triple clamp. Screw on the new aluminum head bolt and tighten it until it feels tight. I used blue lock tight on the head bolts and hex screws. Tighten down the alignment screw on each side up to the tripple clamp..
Next, I added the post anchor that bolts onto the tank mounting holes and slid the post on. Pretty simple except you need to tap the collar on the post down so the damper sits flat on to the damper mounting plate.
Lastly, I screwed the GPR damper onto the mounting plate and over the post. Done....
10 min.. Easiest install on the Double R yet..
(besides the swingarm spools)...
Note to self: Do not adjust the GPR damper backward from 1 to 6 while going real slow... The steering tightened up so much that I almost dumped it :bitchslap:....well, not really but I could imagine someone else who wasn't prepared dumping it....
Now, I cant wait to take it for a real ride... The nice thing about the GPR is that I can buy a mounting plate for my dirt bike and swap it from bike to bike. Also, GPR said it should be serviced once a year and it can be done at the truck, at the races.... So that would be Laguna Seca for me! And did I mention it has a lifetime warranty! Cant beat that...
