I used to run a Scotts Damper back a few years ago when I raced HS. I felt it did what it was supposed to do and I never had any problems with it. Now I'm back into ridng and a Damper is on my short list of upgrades for next season. (Christmas is comming :thumbsup:)

I really like the cost and fit of the Motosportz under bar application. Looks very neat and tidy, which will help with enduro computer mounting. I run with the stock bar spacers and it appears the damper replaces them without changing the bar hieght, which is cool. I can't find much feedback on the Motosportz Damper. The wrench at my shop (ToyTech) said he's only ever put one on.

Anyone help with a comparrison to the Scotts? Or just personal experiences with the Motosportz?

Thanks, Mike

Kelly's damper has saved my ass more times than I care to admit. I've been running a Scotts for years and they are great. Often referred to as the "Hand of God". I decided to try Kelly's due to the small size and "trick" factor. It's done everything for me a damper needs to do....and that's keepin' me on two. Love it.

I have been using the Motosportz damper on my YZ's for 3 years and most recently on a TXC with zero problems.
A well designed and built product that delivers.:worthy:

I've ridden with the Scotts damper and they work well but I like the Motosportz damper better because it easily adjusted "on the fly" and works as or better than the the Scotts.

I am selling my 09txc450 but I took the Motosportz damper off to sell seperate, Its yours for $300. The damper works realy well, Ive tried them all and this one works more like a GPR than a SCOTTS. PM me if interested.

I decided to go with the Motosportz Damper, seemed like it was well liked here and Kelly is pretty cool :thumbsup: which sealed the deal.

It's supposed to be here Thursday. :banana: Just in time for the Hammer Run this weekend. New sneakers and a damper, I'm not going to know how to act.

I'll post some thoughts on installation and function next week after the Hammer Run.
