can't get steering dampner to fit?????????

[woodsZrider]

I have AC propegs and i just got a PEP steering dampner and it won't fit with the propegs on..
The back (steering dampner) bracket that mounts on the frame can't go down far enough because of the bar that goes through the middle of the bike (from the propegs). This makes the shaft of the steering dampner hit my brake line..
Can someone please help me??
Does anyone have this combo??
If so could you please help me out...
I hope i haven't confused anyone.
Thanks

I am so confused it's not even funny. Ummm... well I have pro peg AC's and my Denton works. But then again I wasn't standing on my head when I mounted it. Have you tried putting it on the stem and running it to the down rails of the frame, just behind the front bumper? That's the only way I have seen them mounted.

I had the same problem when I had AC pro pegs. You can make it work but it's very close. Also, you have to bend the brake line down alittle too. I got X-Factor nerfs now and I like them much better.

The PEP mounts like this........................

yea,, see where the bar (from the nerf) goes under the bracket to the steering dampner..
That bar on the AC's is much bigger..
The mount can't got far enough down..
I will try to mount it in the front tomorrow, i got mad and stoped working on it today.
Thanks for your help guys....

alright i just installed my PEP stabilizer last week it is pretty difficult!

where the frame is horrizontal where i assume that you are talking about where it is hitting. Their is a bracket for your brake lines and it is a shape of a backwards L then the brake line mounts to it on the top of the L so take that bracket off and the shaft of the stabilizer runs between the brake line and above the bottom of the bracket "yes it is a tight fit" then everything will just fall into place mount it up

also what may help is to take off the plastic pieces around the radiator to give you more room if you need me to i can take a pic in a week and have it posted

I will post some pics tomorrow. You have to bend the brake line. It will fit fine.

[woodsZrider]

thanks!!!!!!!!!

[kbass24emtp]

Here is where you mount the bottom bracket. Connect this first.

[kbass24emtp]

Next you will have to remove the bolt holding the T connection on your front brake line and move it down. I used zip ties to hold it down and had been working for over a year. You will also have to loosen the bolt on the left wheel brake line and move it down alittle and retighten the bolt.

[kbass24emtp]

Now tighten the stem clamp, giving you enough clearance for your radiator.

[kbass24emtp]

When your done the clearance is tight, but it clears everything. You will just have to play with it a little to get it to clear everything. Also be sure to use LockTight. If you need more help let me know. I can take more pics if you want.

one of my buddies connected his PEP damper to his AC propeg. It worked.

Make sure the steering stabilizer isn't for the 400ex like mine was the first time. I opened up the instructions and it had a picture of an oil tank, with directions making sure that you clear the tank itself! :rolleyes:

i went forward and mounted the stabilizer in the center of my front bumper

thanks for all your help guys.
the pics are great..
