Steering damper for kdx220 with klx 300 forks

Post by Glenn »

Hi,does anyone have any ideas if I can get a steering damper to fit on the klx triple clamps and then mount to my kdx220 frame? I bought the bike with the klx 300 forks already on it. Thanks all, Glenn

I'm running a KDX200 W.E.R. damper on KLX300 fork conversion.
The plate mounts to the bike with fender mount bolts which are the same on both bikes.

The WER unit is an easy fit, though not as "fancy" as the Scotts unit. I have run both and they are comparable on the trail, the WER is much easier to fit IMO

Scotts and WER are kind of the only game in town for the KDX. I have seen some guys custom fab the honda unit in, but it's a lot of work for a marginal unit IMO

I’ve got the Scotts on a KDX frame with KX triple tree and forks. Works great.
