Not really a full build thread, but this seemed like the best place to put it.

Looking to put a Scotts Damper on my Stark, I was able to fit one up and raise the bars a good amount. I did not measure the actual rise, but can if it would be helpful for someone. I am 6'1" and it is just about right for me. In addition to the damper set up, I added Cycra hand guards, a Renazco seat, BRP chain guide and Tubliss. Bike is good for me for now.

OK, for the damper, here are the parts I ordered directly from BRP:

FBD-3528-01 Pin mount
SRP-4033-11 Short pin
SMO-3020 Sub adapter plate for 19-21 KTM 790/890
LBP-140-1460 Lower Bar perches

Use the items above at your own risk, this was not specifically intended for this bike, just a way I made it work. I happened to have an HDB top clamp on the shelf and used that. I also used two half inch spacers under the sub adapter plate and thick fender type washers under those to compress the rubber inserts in the top triple. I utilized the OEM phone holder and it is sitting directly on the HDB top clamp. Part of why I went with the HDB top clamp is because it provided a nice flat surface for the OEM phone mount. I had to extend the charging wiring from the junction box behind the number plate for the phone mount. The switch and throttle still reached with a different routing. Lastly, I mounted the pin mount directly to the carbon fiber piece with a steel backing plate to distribute the load. There is not much room under the carbon fiber piece and the steel frame, maybe an 1/8" and I had to bevel the edge of the backing plate on one side to get the clearance. So far it has been rock solid, if it lasts is another question. If it does not, I will work to secure direct to frame.

I'm curious if the carbon fiber would be able take the load of the steering damper. Carbon is strong (tensile strength), but not so tough (impact strenth). But heck, they make mountian bike wheels and frames out of the stuff (my specialized levo is CF), so maybe it will okay.

I'm curious if anybody has tried the Honda/WP style camper. This company sells a mounting kit, although it requires drilling and tapping holes in the frame:
