Trying to get the correct length of the damper body: https://amsducati.com/ohlins-ducati-monster-side-mount-steering-damper

Looks like SBU has the fork mounts: Search - Steering Damper

And a 140mm and a 150mm Steering Damper.

I am going to write them and see if they have a kit or some recommendations. It looks as though the bracket they sell will allow you to mount the OEM V4 damper just under the stock clip-ons if desired.
 
The 57mm will fit Showa BPFs just above the lower triple. Only reason why I went with a different style of clamp is because I didn't feel like popping the fork out to get the clamp on. For the side-mount setup, I recommend the 150mm one. My build is finally all bolted together and tightened down, the 140mm damper barely works. Probably 1-2mm of travel left from lock to lock, and that's with the R&G steering stops. Without those, the 140mm stroke damper would NOT work.
 
Thanks much! I think I'm gonna try the lower priced option and see if that works well enough for just a few track days. If not, I'll have to spend the extra coin and go with a proper side mount.
 
Picked up an Attack Racing Steering Dampener Mount: Attack Performance 53mm Damper Mount - Ducati, Kawasaki

Looks like an M10 bolt for the end of the OEM Ohlins unit to bolt up to. Anyone else tried this solution yet?

I am looking to use this clamp from Attack racing, below the right clip-on and rotate the OEM dampener to connect with this clamp using a bolt though the dampener and a spacer (of some undetermined thickness) thereby hopefully removing the chance of a severe breakage if the bike were to land on the right clip-on.

Guess I'll need to find one of these that reduces the M10 down to an M6 or whatever the bolt size is for the OEM dampener mount on the Panigale handlebar:


Or an easier fix might be to just use a reducer: Fitting Reducer Metric M10 M10X1.5 Male to M6 M6X1 Female Thread Adapter

Nope. I should have bought this from CNC Racing and been done with it: CNC Racing steering damper bracket for Ducati Panigale.
