If you have a tank slapper at speed and you dont have a damper, you would wish you had payed 100x that for one ;) but it depends how hard you plan of riding the bike i guess.
An NC is for life, not just for Christmas!

well i took the "risk" and bought one.

and to be fair the quality is dead on,the finish is alright but we'll see just how well it lasts out on the road. i think it looks well with the black frame and bodywork.

I agree when I first got my KR1s it did not have damper on and I got a huge tankslapper lock to lock with the back end following it at about £70-80 with it throwing me off the bike and bouncing me down the road (bounced well as I was only 17). Very soon after that I fitted one and never had a slapper again well worth it in my opinion

I prefer them the normal way around as you can adjust them on the move then if you want to
