Re: steering damper
i was thinking about putting one on my road bike as i know if im hammering down a rough road or hit a lil bump when accelerating hard the steering wobbles everywhere, quite scary at times lol, there are some really cheap ones on ebay but dont know how good they would be? obviously its only for the road so dont need a top notch one but as i say i dont know if the cheap ones r good enough

Re: steering damper
most people use the sprint ones. They are cheap and do the job.they are side mounted, so Im not sure if they would fit with all the stuff that might be in the way on a roadbike...im not sure, its been a while since i looked at a zxr roadbike
