Shindy Dampers... experience?

thinking about grabbin one of these cause $330 for a GPR is steep for my pocket book right now.

i know you get what you pay for but i want experienced opinions.

they are 7 click adjustable and i can get them for $170 cost here at the dealership.


are they stiff enough for rollin tall?

I've personally never tried one, but have heard from a couple of different people in the past who had no problems with them.

I did always have a tiny bit of play with my Ohlins no matter how many times it was bled, but never enough to bother me.

Yeah I actually shouldn't even count my Ohlins for comparison, I had one on my R1 back in 2002, when I was rolling 65ft.
