I have not seen any discussions on this board about using the Ohlins aftermarket steering damper, but it seemed like a good idea to post this since it is for the units made for R1200R's. There is a recall.

Lost Rider has a Ohlins damper, if I'm not mistaken.

Thanks for the heads up, yes I have one.
After reading the piece about the bracket I looked and didn't notice any cracks but will contact Dan Kyle to see if mine is the model that is effected.

Thanks again!
