Hi
I was looking at steering dampers for the SP and the telescopic ones are around the £200 mark.

I found a Scotts Steering Damper for a more reasonable price but not sure if they are any good.

Anyone had any experience of these ?

Cheers

I has one on my TL1000R, much better than the sprint one it replaced.
You do need to use threadlock on the tiny grub screws that go onto the top yoke nut. If you dont they come undone as you land a wheelie badly as I found out.

Oh and they can be rebuilt by yourself in under 20 mins and they look awesome.

Thanks i'll give it a go then Smile
The SP is little front happy coming out of corners so hopefully this will stop any major tank slappers !
