As I'm getting faster my need for a damper is getting stronger. I had a moment yesterday that left a brown puddle in my leathers and the stock triumph one does nothing, it isn't worth the metal it's made from.

So BCF, what worked for you?

I'd got with Sprint or Ohlins.

Had a sprint on the ZX10R for 3 years, quality bit of kit which must have saved me a good few times.

Not sure what I had on the R1 but that was electronically controlled and I never had any wobbles.

I had a sprint one on my bike, relatively cheap, rebuildable/servicable by sprint and worked a treat even on a very low setting.

What's making it shake it's head in the first place? Is your suspension all set up correctly?

Front end going light on corner exit and me being hamfisted. Im getting better at getting on the gas earlier and sooner but this is knocking my confidence a bit. The suspenders are good, I had it set up and haven't fiddled with it, the tyre wear is lovely and even at both ends which suggests nothing is wrong there.

£275 for a Sprint sounds reasonable.
