Really nice goodies-both easy installs and quality items. The M4 Matris was from pjsparts.com and the LSL 's were New Bonnie. Highly reccommended by this old biker!
Love them both! The rear sets are somewhat limited to the rear on the right side by the
stock exhaust but are almost perfect for me -gives you a somewhat agressive riding stance -put them in the upper setting to get the most height so I don't drag my feet
while cornering. I added a heel protector from another New Bonnie kit as the LSL kit does not have a right side protector(keeps your boot off the exhaust!) The M4 is too cool-lots of and some very strong settings (12). It is most helpful in coming off the corners when Casper tries to jump up and away from me!
I am not a wheelie king so it really is a good, stabilizing addition for me.
Both these items are well engineered and very useful additions to my bike.

Tracker, do a search on this forum, there was a guy some time back who had photos of the higher spec Matris M4R, which mounts & look pretty similar to the M4.

Also carpimoto.it has pics of the Matris dampers in the webshop.

I am too computer stupid to post pics and cant seem to get much help around here so sorry -I do not have pics available. The damper is beautiful! Works great too!

OOPS! I went and looked at the box-
My damper is an M4R-OK??

Hivel, in the pics it looks like you can still use a Pit Bull
front stand with the damper mounted. Do you agree?

I dunno-I have no idea what the Pit Bull deal looks like. There is not much space taken up by the damper, but it is close behind the triple clamp. Hope that helps.

Tracker, if you do not have to raise the front too often you could just take one of the damper mounting bolts off and swivel it out of the way? If it will be on the way, that is.
