    Pingel has a good line of steering dampers. They are highly recommended on 2000-2006 Boss Hoss trikes. The Pingel unit I ran on our trike cost $132.

    Withe the Kewlmetal trees,our trike doesn't need a damper now.

    Everything here that you guys have installed are considerably shorter over all length than the TG damper. TG is a total length of 16" or 406mm. There are a lot of 400mm on Ebay that computes to just 1/4 in short of 16". TG body is 6" or 152mm, and Ebay's 400mm's has a 7 1/8" body 200mm. Comparing the 2 does, anyone see a problem with the 400mm over Harleys. I have an 09 UC with a Lehman conversion. Raked a 5 and I have had the dealership check everything, no problems other than shaking.

    I used a 400mm on my victory, and I think a 300mm on my roadking (flh). On my hd I mounted it similar to the way the TG's are mounted. If it would help out, I could snap some pics tomorrow and post them for ideas on your install. If you mounted one like I did on my Vic you could use the 400mm easily.

    I have the Harley mounting brackets and am comfortable with an install, just wondering if I need to come as close as possible to match the TG damper. If I go smaller won't I loose turning radius?

    americanbadas did the 300 give you lock to lock turning? I plan on mounting them just the way the TG is too since I have the HD brackets.

    I made my own brackets so the 300mm worked out fine on my RK. The way I set it up, there is full range of motion and about 1 inch of play on either end of the damper shaft. Since you have the HD brackets you may want to go to your nearest dealer, to look at one and even take some measurements. It is better to get a slightly longer damper, than too short-you could just adjust the play on either end.

    I am going to install it the same way they do on the tri glide since I have the Harley brackets. My question is can I get lock lock turning with a shorter damper than the 16" (406mm) 1 on the Triglide?

    I went over to Thunder Mountain and they had a triglide. That's where I got the figures off 16 inches total length in the body 9 inches. It would probably be best if I used the 400 that's closest to the 16 inchesI can get. Especially sense I will be using Harleys tri glide brackets.

    It should work fine (the 400mm)-just make sure you adjust it so the full range of steering is balanced. Sounds like you have it covered-good luck!

    I'm just full of questions, here's another one. I know that the damper used as standard on the new Harley trikes is PN 83808-09A. I would like to know, if possible, the PN of Ohlins damper Harley uses?

    I have found an alternative to the $500 Harley Davidson TriGlide steering damper. Very similar measurements. It's only $165+shipping. www.astfromthepast.com if anyone is looking for one shipped from the good ole USA.

    A steering damper was the best thing I have added since the trike conversion.
