Steering damper -To fit or not to fit?

Post by ktd001 »

Has anyone fitted a steering damper to their Storm? I always like the sound of them but don't know whether it's worth the time or money? :? Oh yeah, and if you have fitted one, how much did it set you back?

Don't need it

Unless you are riding like Chewbacca the storm don't need one don't bother. buy some sticky tires.... If you are having stability or wagging issue it'll prob be warped disc or just that you need the forks re-springing so they work properly. This is what happened with mine, I had HM Racing fit Ohlins springs and the bike is transformed. 8)

Mine's fine on the road on Bridgestones but on the track on 208GP's it was a right handfull, especially at Outlon!!!

Cheers guys. Ah well, it looks like I don't need it then. Just thought they looked good! :oops:
Got any idea where I can get a good undertray from? Fed up with taking 5 minutes and black belt origami trying to stow my chain away.

I had a Sprint steering damper fitted & never got so much as a headshake(ride like a maniac at the w/end) but I had to take it off so as I could fit my crash mushrooms. Currently looking at machining myself a new mounting bracket for the damper.
