Melotti Racing Yamaha YZF R7 Racing Side Mount Damper Bracket Kit

This racing kit allows you to install the steering damper in a lateral position on your Yamaha R7.

The kit consists of two elements in aluminum alloy (Anticorodal), CNC machined with 3D technology, subsequently treated with natural anodic oxidation.

The first element has to be mounted on the left side of the frame; the second one has to be mounted on the lower fork bridge and supports the “body” of the shock absorber.

• Screws and washers for assembly are included with the kit.
• The steering damper used must have a stroke of at least 140mm.
• NOTE – Installation is only possible on racing bikes and with limited steering angle (RACE USE ONLY).

Why installing the steering damper laterally?

• The use of the lateral steering damper is a real “must” on racing bikes, because it allows for a faster, smoother and more progressive hydraulic response of the damper.
• These advantages are due to its lateral position, which is technically more correct.
• With the same oscillation of the steering during a shimmy, the shock absorber mounted in the lateral position has a greater stroke available to counteract the sudden movement of the front wheel compared to a steering damper mounted transversely.
