The GPR if I go that route because of the width, will be the street version. I want the return to center damping.
Though both are good dampers.

Just a suggestion - Risers with pullback!!!!! like Rivco.Nothing in particular, it could be used, but I'd rather having matching sexy billet pieces than mismatched. Materials cost should be minimal for these in 6061, its the machine time that's going to cost. I may end up adding a cover to hide the gauge bracket to the top piece.
Also, the stock pieces are not light.
Looking at them together, I have a strong feeling the Scotts' going to be too wide to fit like this.

OK so the main reason I chose the V4 over the Scott's and other brands of radial dampers is because I was looking to not lift the fork arrangement or if I had to, which I did for now, it would be a inch or less and no pull back. The Classic bars fit me just right so I wanted to try to keep it close. Yes you can use risers for both. One other deciding factor was hidden underneath it.
This allows me to modify the upper yoke nut (for now already have a replacement design just no lathe yet and well no need since the modified nut works fine).
So lower mounting can be achieved which cannot be done with the Scott's model. pictured below.
Not to mention it will be hard to access the control adjustment sitting still or while riding (if needed) unless you use the Rivco risers in reverse (non Touring)
If I had a CNC or the time I would make the complete lower bar/radial damper mount which would make things even easier. I chose this method for the prototype first.

I just had an epiphany on how to build this using readily available materials and shapes.
7 pieces design but can all be done with hand tools and muchiblower cost than even the GPR/SCOTT mounts.
My idea will fit both dampers with one system of mounting. More to follow after work.

Got a reply from Scott, putting here for search ability:
Scott Damper mounting 54mm spacing M6x20 bolts.
They have a under bar mount that “almost” fits, could be made to work with a drill and 5 minutes, part number 100 40 43.
Also for search, straight from their mouth: there are only two versions, dirt and street. SCOTT dampers are identical inside regardless of which bike they go on, so the weight being controlled won’t be an issue.
They may have a headstock clamp with pin mount that will fit, sending them some measurements for that part tonight.
The Triumph TT600 kit is no longer available to purchase
