Ok its mounted BMW don't make it easy the stompa is 90 mm wide and the space between the handlebar rissers is 76 mm .If one were to mount it on top of the bars it would be in your face because of the height , So see pic machined a 20 mm billet block to mount the stompa, to widen the handlebar rissers and to raise the bars by 20 mm all in one. Then the bottom mount was also a difficult one but there are 2 opptions one is the normal route which is ok just more work the other is the way i did it see pic so it is more stable and it doubles as a place to fasten my tank bag. Now the serious stuff how does it feel ?? just took it through a veggie feild that was ploughed this morning the sand is so soft if you stop you stuck it was amazing the bike tracks straight as a arrow. need only to shift your weight to steer. Then to the sand dunes same response ,then some sand tracks feels so confident no whipping around. The settings are great from casual damping to stiff to turn. On the way home loose gravel feels like tar. You can scratch both ears at the same time. This is a really nice product and although expensive well worth the money. mountingmountingmontingmonting

What kind of money are you talking about? Will it fit 1200GS with tank bag? or could it be made to fit?

the stompa damper comes of the shelf with brackets to fit the 1200 Gs, 1150 Gs and 650 Gs.There are currently none in Cape town but I believe KTM will be the Cape agent very soon. If you need one before then there is a advert in the latest Enduro magazine for the stompa and the importers details.I think it will work really well on the 1200 gs as I have a damper on my Ulysses and I can't ride in loose sand without it the bike is also a 1200 and at 193 kg its a beast. The stompa is R4700 or so. They have a special at the moment for R5700 includes stompa foot pegs. at times I ride faster than my guardian angle can fly
