flounder Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 do you have a damper on your bike.. If so just take it off and change the stock fluid to to thicker weight fluid especially if youve never had any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12oclocker Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 my steering dampner have saved my ass quite a few times. floating the front wheel, landing a wheelie with new tires in high humidity, or nailing an animal while riding with one hand are a few saves the dampner made. definitely get one if you ride hard, that one time you get tank slap and wreck you'll wish you had it! $200 is a sweet deal!

flounder Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 They are nice but if you've never had any problems with headshake then its just a $$$, and personal decision for you.Just an FYIhttp://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=dampnerhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steering_damperIts Damper....

e-flores Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 I don't know kinda a touchy subject if you have never had any problems. I know I never had any problems on the street with my bike but when I got on track it would have came in handy that is why I bought one myself. And three hundred would still be one heck of a deal.
