I upgraded my frankenstick with smooth low friction oil dampers. They compensate the weight of the heavier grip and counteract the mechanical deadzone of the G940 base.

Hello,

I've just come across this very interesting post. I also fly an old G940 and I think the idea of fitting 2 shock absorbers is a very good one. I looked on the net for the same as you but I'm not sure it's the right reference (I can't find the dimensions). Do you remember what the reference was?

The only one I've found is this one, is it the right one?

Thanks in advance.

The question is - do you just want damping or damping and springing? (For the latter, look for "gas springs") For dampers, I'd suggest looking for adjustable ones, it is very difficult to guess at how much damping force you want. There are inexpensive adjustable dampers for motorcycles available all over.

@Jekel Sorry for the late reply, didn't see it. I used Absima 135mm dampers: https://www.wirelessmadness.com/absima--1-8-off-road-aluminium-dampers-135mm-pack-of-2-suspensions-abs2330009

As far as i remember, i used 2000cps damper oil to make them smooth enough. However, they were only necessary because of the weight of the grip.
