Re: Do you use steering dampers?

thats how GPR started, as a dirtbike stabilizer company.. then they expanded into street.

I just put one on my 08 Kx450 and wow what a differance. that bike gets waaay head wobbly at high speeds, but now with the damper i feel 100% safer on it. i think it helps a lot with slower technical trail rides too, way more confidence in the bike.

Have you ever rode a fast dirt bike, IN THE DIRT?

Hitting a rut at 70 and getting a bad tank slapper through tight woods is NOT fun...



Hell, getting a slapper at 50mph on my 150f in the trails is NOT fun

Re: Do you use steering dampers?

I never put one on my R1..... I just always remembered to pump the front brakes back up after a nasty slapper..... that bike never got any slappers when I had a bald tire on the front. Thats how I roll!
