Dallas4U,

The scott damper weld is only to the top triple clamp so this should be no big deal. Besides it will be a lot better than riveting mounts to your frame if you go the fork route. If this really concerns you then buy a used (straight) T-clamp.

You can also buy a mountable "ducati 916" style and fabricate the mounts. I did this to my R1 by using the mounts to the top gas tank and the front subframe mounts. The damper was mounted using the main nut on the top T.

My suggestion is that you look into getting a new rear spring for the shock. You look like a 6'0 200lbs rider (with gear) and the stock spring are meant for a soft ride. Shocks never come for the riders weight. This is probably giving you the wobble. If you want to do it right then order a Penske and have your forks redone by Traxxion so your suspension is dialed for your weight and dynoed. Of course this can set you back a cool $2000. Then set your self up with some Mich pilots or Dunlop's with EBC green pad brakes, SS lines and you are set to go

Now I understand why I left the sport

By the way, For a cool Bling bling, go to your local cycle shop (not street bike) and pick up an electronic speedo. They are cheap like $20. Very easy to mount. Velcro unit to top trimple clamp and mount sensor. You then have a way to indicate your speed, distance as well how fast you have ever gone. It was a poor man's way to find out how fast the rider was doing on the straights at a particular track for regearing purposes.

Can also be used for poser points

Good Luck

P.S. I would hate to down a BMW. Those heads have no protection.
