Ducabike Ducati Monster 696 1100 Steering Damper Bracket

Ducabike have designed this steering damper bracket to prevent tank slapping, what is tank slapping?A tank slapper is when the handlebars wildly oscillate. They are also called speed wobbles or death wobbles and, as the latter name implies, they can be lethal.

How wobbles start

They most often occur on a motorcycle at high speed when aerodynamic drag force moves the load to the rear tyre and un-weights the front tyre, basically when the oscillation starts the front tyre contact patch is offset from the steering axis and tries to restore itself by swinging back the other way.

Unless you have a steering damper fitted, the steering overshoots and goes past the straight-ahead position and the oscillation is then magnified.

**This listing is for the brackets ONLY, the collar COS01 and the Ohlins steering damper OH01 are both sold separately**

Fits: Ducati Monster 696, 1100, 1100S
