Steering damper?

[Riko_imp]

Lol. You serious?

Electronic parts clearly and you say dampers.
+ steering dampers are tube like mechanical parts located between frame and steering.

It sure aint steering dampers...

I looked at the Daytona parts on their website or Website and couldn't find anything for sure that looked like that.

I'm assuming that AzBob thought the accessory mounting bar might be a damper.

well there is a tube there for some reason anchored to the handlebar. I can't imagine what it might be, that's a pretty serious tube and it looks like 2 slide switches that go to it. I don't know thinking about it I don't see where the handlebars could move at all anchored like that. would love to see a picture of the whole set up. Was that the only picture available of the bike?

Ferret, That is just an accessory mounting bar. I don't think that one is a Daytona one, but here is a link where you can see some: http://japan.webike.net/bm/brd/Handle+Pa.../1030/177/

If you zoom in on it you can clearly see 12V on the left one. I would suspect that they are both charging ports with the one on the right most likely (due to it's size) being a USB port.

Agreed, I would say standard "cigarette lighter" power socket on the left, and USB on the right. Odd, that a search of the mighty interwebs cannot locate these accessories to cross reference.

yeah I got that one from facebook, the Taiwanese CB1100 page.

could not read Chinese (I assume they speak Chinese in Taiwan)


aaaight thx a lot all,

I thought this would be some high tech gizmo

[the Ferret]

popgun I see now. Just another tube to hang junk on, and it swings WITH the handlebars. Wow.

Here's a technical observation. I wonder why didn't they just take one tube, counter bore it in the center and run a bolt through it rather than that elaborate multi piece machined set up? Crazy!
