Default steering damper
Anyone know of a moderately priced steering damper? Cheaper than storz or ohlins but better quality than the $100 eBay one that everyone says leaks?

look at Custom Cycle Engineering they make a steering brace for the front fork that works well.

I've searched an there are only two sides to this, cheap and difficult to rebuild or expensive. You can buy 4 of the cheap ones for what it cost to get the storz damper. The GPR is a quality piece but way out of my price range.

It doesn't mention if it's re-buildable. Might be a good piece.

The GPR is badass! I want one!

But I'm thinking the cheapo is what I'll go with. I like the way it mounts...
