Default Steering damper

Does anyone make a stiffer/ stronger steering damper shock for 2009 Tri-Glide?

There are a lot of steering dampers on eBay and the online parts stores, some are even adjustable, but the problem would be to find one that would use your stock mounting brackets. Could it be that the old one is worn out and maybe a simple replacement part would help? Just some ideas.

The stock ohlins cost $500.00 bucks. But call ohlins they can rebuild them. The seals leak some times. Just saying

Has anyone contacted Ohlins and asked them for a replacement that is adjustable? Or someone could simply measure the length of their stock Ohlins and find out from an Ohlins rep what an adjustable one of the same length is.
I'm interested in knowing because I want to install 1 on my 2017 Street Glide.

Probably best if you contact them yourself.... You know what you want , Third party information is almost always wrong....Or at best' Ambiguous...

I'm actually trying to put that setup on my 07 streetglide now. You can buy the two brackets and then buy whatever damper you want and have a nicer setup than the aftermarket companies are making, just have to modify your inner fairining a bit. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...7hg9dsEB16UPlP
I'm trying to find the stroke and size of the original Ohlins damper and find one that's the same. Www.oppracing.com has 6 different stroke lengths of adjustable Ohlins steering dampers, just have to find the one that matches the one from Harley. If you find out what size that is or if anyone on this thread has that one from Harley and could tell me the measurements, would sure save me a bunch of time.

https://www.oppracing.com/product_di...-150mm-stroke/

I think this one should be a close replacement with 150mm stroke
