    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Steering Damper

The Honda HESD one is also 6.5v with no benefit being felt above this.
Was quite high in current draw from the research I did. There is a parts list on the link I posted.

You need a voltage regulator that can handle about 1.5amps from memory.

Parts are about 20 quid out here in the US. I don't see why the same bunch of bits wouldn't work for the GSXR one too.

:)

I suspect that the reason this is so elaborate is two fold
a.) to get a ergonomically pleasing knob adjust you can't find a 10 ohm pot.
b.) a simple op amp wont work because of the almost 1 amp of current required.

Using the simple schematic I provided will likely work, you will just have to adjust it with a screw driver occasionally till you get it where you want it.
 
i was hoping to have it easily adjustable whilst riding so you can wind it down when pottering round town and then increasing it as i come out of town and the roads become faster and twistier
 
I have one of these Honda dampers. $12 shipped if anyone wants it. Never got around to messing with it, just sat on the shelf.
