do you often suffer tank slappers?

pull wheelies?

ride relatively rough roads that get scary on the bends?

wouldn't consider a steering damper otherwise.

levers.. well.. they pull.. and thats it..

Purely cosmetic.

Out of interest, did you have to put any rubber bits over the lockstops or elsewhere to give enough clearance for the damper?

Both my sprint ones have touched slightly on full lock.

Honnestly cant see the improvment on the levers. Confused

Ok, they probably provide a more square recess for your fingers. But apart from that, They are purely a cosmetic add on. Especially with the annodised bit. Laughing

^^that's not what Ride magazine said on their first ever big test of it, though that was all rapidly hushed up Wink

In my defence with the steering damper, I fitted it after a highside, which caused me to go from the nice seated position on the bike to a handstand on the bars, somehow I saved the following tank slapper but from that second I decided a damper was the way to go! Rolling Eyes

.

It stops the front of the bike feeling light which givew me more confidence!, so im happy with it.

The levers, most people think they are totally cosmetic until they sit on the bike and pull them, all becomes clear then! Razz

The yoke cover is of Ebay, theres a chap who makes them.

the steering damper is a nice improvement as yiou never know when you may go round a bumpy bend at speed and need it.

the levers although more than likely adjustable, are cosmetic really. and as for that yoke cover....you tart.

having said that, it all looks mint, and if my bike was my pride and joy (as no doubt it will be when i get a bike like that) you would also be seeing such modifications to my bike. as i am also a tart.

keep it all shiney
