Steering dampers
Hi folks!
I normally eschew (where I can) steering dampers. Yes my '98 R1 had one - but it was mental. And yes, my MV F3 has one - but it has the same wheelbase as my RVF and nearly 3x the power...
The suspension on my RVF is nicely setup - so that isn't the issue - but I had an "interesting" head shake today when I was being a bit more of a hooligan than usual down a very bumpy road.
I probably don't really need one - esp seeing as I've done many 10's of thousands of miles on my RVF so far with no worries - but if I were to get one, what would you recommend?
I don't want a modern "across the tank Ducati style" one...I want to keep the RVF old school... :)
