I wouldn't use one of those myself, as they arn't top quality made. The last thing you want is the steering damper failing when you need to trun into a corner :shock:
Are you riding on the road or track, do you ride fast or steady?

If for some reason, due to riding style, bike setup or what not you expeirence a tank slapper at high speed (say on a race-track)

The 200gbp steering damper might save your bike, like and / or both. So then it'd be justified.

It depends on how hard your riding and the setup of your bike, the NC30's are quite stable, all bikes can slap but some are much more prone to it.

When you reverse mounted the damper, where it attatches to the frame is that a threaded adapter for the rose joint you used? If so where can source one of these lol and what thread is it please, thanks again
