Huh?
Looks like someone is el-cheapo on the server.

Gas Gas under mount unit.
I'll post pictures when I get it mounted.
Hmm....? IMG tags don't work?
That's the new GPR V4 damper? Looks nice and very low profile. We will need a review also.

The bike is supposed to appear tomorrow. I'll get it mounted and some pictures posted.

You better smile when you are saying that!
Image tags are enabled here - I use them all the time... I believe that in order for image tags to work it has to be a recognized file extension (jpg, gif, etc.)

There's an option in vbulletin to allow image tags on other file types. If I search the properties for the image I posted and insert it between the image tags I should see the picture displayed.You better smile when you are saying that!

Here's my post that I originally posted on TT. I just inserted the thumbnail properties between the image tags to show the larger picture.

I just finished mounting it. The post assembly interferes with the fuel line tap in the frame. A 90 degree elbow would fix it or you can cheat and use a longer line tied by the radiator. I think that's what I will do.
The plastic collar under the top triple clamp needs to be cut down. I don't think GPR has a proper replacement yet which is no big deal. I cut it too thin so I packed it with waterproof grease. I'll order another one and be a bit more careful with my cutting.
There's 2 positions on the top triple clamp. It bolts in the rear set of holes. I'm pretty tall so I'm going to check with GPR for a longer arm so I may use the forward set of holes. Being a submount it increased the height of the bars a little over an inch. Good for tall guys.
I think you will have to contact GPR to get a part number to order the submount and post kit. The top clamp spacing is 100/40 which allowed me to bolt on a set of Fastway FIT handguards I had laying around for a Yamaha.
I have to hand it to GPR, they stay on top of things. I like that they are using the stock triple clamp.

Thanks. I double checked and see no such option.
They are running a newer version of vbulletin over there - looks like it is time to upgrade...
By the way, just to spam for one of the sponsors here, Motosportz also makes a damper that will mount to the gasgas. www.motosportz.com

The Scotts/BRP tower kit comes with a nice steel cap thats shorter, so you don't have to cut the plastic one. What works well is adding an o-ring, with an OD the same as the cap ID and about 2mm thick. This seals real well and keeps everything out. My tower just barely clears the fitting. I use a stubby cap vent and plumb the trans/PV vent line to the frame fitting.

I ordered the Scott's cap yesterday. I'll take a couple of rings. It will save me some time looking for them.
Thanks, Bill.

Robby,
You had them made? Standard part I actually found in our stockroom at work. I should put together a list of suppliers I have used for o-rings, bearings, etc. with success in the past.
The Scotts tower will allow use of the frame fitting, if that matters. Something to think about if one shows up here or on ebay in the future.
FYI, the trans and PV vent through the same line. Hooking it to the frame fitting makes it just about as water/dust proof as you can get.

When I went to order from from Smackover they were out of them so I got the size from Jim and had them made for me. So I ended up with about 100 of them for under $10.
It is the same size o-ring that is used on the lower steering stem bearing. When used with the metal dust cover instead of the plastic cover it seals out al debris like you said.
Ud_Luz send me your address thru a PM and I will get two of these out to you this week.

Bill,
Because its a high, convienient (fitting) connection that vents into the frame. The main frame front downtube has a hole in the bottom plate. Dirt or water should never make it up the frame that far so its better than looping the line over the rad. I hit water crossings regularly so I pay attention to this when I set a bike up. Sorry, didn't mean to be a wise ass, just assumed that you realized it was there for a tank vent.

Robby,
We are talking about different things. The o-ring you refer to is the same as the lower T-clamp o-ring. I did what you did on both my '00 and '03 with the large bevel washer and o-ring replacing the plastic cap, like the older bikes. What I did on my '07 was use the Scotts steel cap that came with the tower with a thinner o-ring underneath. It seals between the cap and the edge of the steering neck tube. The o-rings you have will be too thick for this. I'll measure one and post dimmensions tommorrow. Not critical though, the metric or closest standard equiv. will be fine.
Either method works.
