[Ducati] 900SS Damper

[Dave Verrecchia]

They are the same diameter fork legs whether or not they Marzocchi or Showa, so it doesn't matter.  If you measure the springs, you can get anything from Race Tech to Ohlins for them. 
 
 You can also use PCV pipe as a pre-load tool.  You basically cut it in different heights to vary the pre-load (like 1/2", etc... a little bit makes a big difference). This is ghetto, oakland style, but it works and people have done this for years... but there maybe be something with PVC flaking off and getting into the fork oil.
 
 I was originally repsonding saying Munroe has 2 steering dampers for 1994-1998 SS's in stock.  They are pretty trick, red-anodized from Italy... they'd probably sell them cheap... email me off list if you are intersted.

I have read references that say either could have been used. There doesn't appear to be any maker's mark on them. They are unadjustable, that's all I know. I sent Racetech an email asking about stiffer springs. Hopefully they will have some that will fit.

Hmmm....yeah the idea is to preload the spring to set sag. know any other way to do it? Noone suggested that had anything to do with damping which is why the suggestion to look at emulators and the like. But first step in any suspension tuning is to set preload/sag and that is done with spacer or external means. Since I specifically mention increasing in incrememnts of .25" binding spring not likely gonna happen.
