#84301 Avante High Capacity Damper - Rear

40$ front and 36$ rear

and who knows what might be rere'd next


sorry no bigger Egress pics available

That's quite the find!
But what about $23 for a pair at Banzai ?!

Really really tempting to get a double set of rears for the DF-01. And another just to leave in the blister.
Aaah, I wish I had not known!

I am not quite sure but it appears that these dampers have a screw on bottom cap, have a close look at the manual in the rear of the bagged picture. So some changes were made.

Indeed... vintage :


Reissued parts :


Would be lovely to have a set with either design.
Even though I'm planning on putting Big Bores on the DF-01...

How is the damper shaft sealed on the original parts though?
I don't see any sign of O-rings...

Edou really!



(they come partly pre assembled , but its two red o-rings, the shaft guide and a clip )
page 11 TF evo manual, nice cross section.

Ah, pre assembly... that ain't fair.
Never had the pleasure to hold Hi-caps in my hand.
That clip seems fiddly. Any tools for that?

yeah got a tool for the clips, but same as with the c clip tool wear eye protection

replacing this by a threaded cap might not be too bad

Yeah, looks like a good change in design.
Although it might have been better to leave more than that single O-ring in it...
