[QUOTE="mudpack, post: 1342814, member: 99293"] All a steering damper does is make it harder for the forks to turn. This can be of significant benefit in some situations, but you still have to ride the bike. You can still get knocked off-line. I get just as arm-tired riding the trails with the HPSD and with the Scotts as without any damper at all. The bike just feels a little more planted in certain areas. I believe the primary benefit of a damper is stopping head-shake...and I don't get much of that normally. If I knew then what I know now about dampers (either style), I would not have spent the money. The cost/benefit ratio is just not there for me. Now, if I was a Supercross rider, coming down on the backside of a tabletop, front wheel first, from 40 feet in the air, I think a damper would be a necessary piece of equipment. But I'm not. They do make a cool project, though............ Mud [/QUOTE]
