Sup fellas I'll be in the market for one these real soon. I was try it get any info I could before I pulled the trigger. I've seen a few on eBay but not sure which one to go with. Please chime in if you have one on your bike. Pros and cons would be great as well. Thanks in advance.

Here's a photo of the one I was looking @

My opinion is if you upgrade your suspension properly you won't need to put that ugly thing on your bike. Mines rock solid at 100mph

 

Have you hit a pot hole at 100 mph? Thats where the damper comes into play. That and wheelies if your into that sort of thing.

 

Good feed back and yes I've hit a pot hole @100 mph fuggin sucks homie.

 

True track could be an option for you as well. My dyna tracks straight over tar snakes, grooved roads, pot holes....whatever the road throws at it

 

this thread keeps coming up... people seem to always say that it is just for tank slapper issues... it does wonders for handlebar oscillation and keeping a smooth line in your bike. i use one, highly recommended... makes up for poor frame designs and really helps to smooth out the bike in deep turns and tight S curves. highly recommended if you ride hard... if you are not into pushing your bike, save your $ I recommend this paired with a super brace... like a whole new world.

 

ooh ya... and it looks cool hahaha
here are the 2 that i run (the mount have been powder coated)

DBI






and the Hyperpro

 

EastBay, what damper is that in your pick? Looks like a DBI. My bro has a Pingel on his FXDB and has nothing bad to say about it. Shindy dampers run about $260+. Storz is the priciest at about $400+. Make sure you get a fully adjustable damper so you can get the right feel for your style of riding. If you find a good deal on a damper that wont fit your fork you can get 49mm clamps here

Hope that helped

 

How does a steering/damper works ?

 

its a small hydraulic cylinder that limits the flow of oil from one position to the other. it is adjustable from light feel to a heavier feel. will take out the small wobbles and corrections in the steering of the front end while travelling down the road or track.
someone had posted some video's of this exact thing before. sure they will re post them.
