You'll probably want new but I got a steering damper from Rhory (royster81) and used it for a little while and it works great. I found the restricted steering lock a pain though as you loose the ignition steering lock so I've taken it off again.

So if you'd like it, let me know.

ooo how much and could you post a picture, what make is it?

[mattUKNC]

Not sure of the make or price, maybe Rhory might know the make?! It has an Ohlins sticker on it though! :D (I'm pretty sure it isn't though)
I have a photo on my camera, I'll upload when I get home.

Looks very similar to the one mruehl34 posted a couple of weeks ago although the bracket around the damper is silver and not black.


I'll still put my photo later though.

[Spike16]

sounds good, pm me a price and il tel you how much I cannot afford it lol (il just have to sell some stuff..... kidnys for sale!!!)

[mattUKNC]

Here's my one.

[Spike16]

and you say it wont go onto steering lock with it on, not even if you wind it well off and push the bar slowly?

[simmo]

why would you put a quick action throttle on a road bike?

why wouldnt you?

And please dont say it will make it snatchy around town because it doesnt.

because on the race bike i find that even going through the paddock area at an steady pace, and its quite bumpy, every TINY LITTLE movenment counts and i would PERSONALLY find that really annoying on a road bike, as I ride my bike everyday and do ride on the country and A roads everyday, which can be bumpyish. so for practical purposes i would not want 1.
but on the track they are the fshizle.
