Default Mounting OEM damper

Has anyone ever mounted an OEM damper in the manner shown below? Is there a better way to mount it on a naked bike? This mounting arrangement apparently requires relocating the horn and drilling a hole in the tripple tree in a place that looks like it was designed to be drilled.

Default Re: Mounting OEM damper

as far as im aware there is no oem dampner for the sv650, i cant vouch for the sv1000 tho but i know that the tl1000 had one retrofitted to the 97 models and as stock on the 98on models but that isnt one from a tl as they look like the pic below.



im interested as to where you got this dampner from as it obviously doesnt have any makers marks on it and why you want one for as i never had any trouble on my sv no matter how hard i pushed it, i just couldnt get it to shake its head in anyway that could be considered remotely risky.

as for is it safe to mount like that, not a clue but drilling holes in stuff i dont understand is something im generally against

I bought the stabilizer on Ebay, The reason for a stabilizer in my instance is that the suspension is set a bit aggressively and I believe it would be good to have stabilazation in a variety of circumstances, such as a serious turn where a rough road surface was encountered that could otherwise result in a loss of front-end stability.
