HRC Rear brake resevoir
Cheap and looks nice, plus you can ditch a load of pipework

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.

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.

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.
