Steering Damper reviews please

[mazz1]

i have a ohlins across the tank style on my road bike and it's not bad but i have a gpr damper on my trackbike and that is a awesome bit of kit, if i ever have to buy another damper i would go for the gpr

[scooby]

yep exactly the same m8

That's quite a few recommendations from quick lads for GPR. I'll go see how much they cost

  for all cheers

[scream]

TBH tim i think any decent damper will do the job

be it ohlins, gpr, matris, sprint whatever...

i bet if you were to blindfold the 'fast lads' and put a random damper on their bikes at equal settings,

then sent them out to test them, they wouldn't know the difference.     (obviously taking the blindfold of first)

i bet you i could,i can,thats why i swapped my ohlins on my track bike,for the GPR on my road bike.

GPR for me here too, I've bent two damper rods in quite small offs with the arrows... 

Used Arrow, Matris , Sprint, GPR and Std.   For me GPR is the best and easyiest to use, saying that they all did their job except the standard gsxr one which is shite.

One of the prime reasons I use them ... almost impossible to reach in an off ...traditional ram dampers nearly always get damaged.

Also, very easy to adjust on the move if you need to.

i have a standard 1 on the my gixer, not sure whether i need 1 now after this thread    cheers tim-not!!   
does anybody not rate the standard ones at all?

[Southerner Oop North]

Not that I know of mate, they are generally accepted to be pretty gash. Did I just add to your race budget for the year?

[regreid]

only if i can get 1 for about £8

The standard R1 piece is built on a budget and behaves that way .. (2008)

+1,. have to agree

all you are doing is using a device is slow down the gitters,.
a decent ram from the back of a toyota hackback would do,. except for the ground clearance on tigh bends

The negative in there is doing my brain in 

The std one is better than none....and ok for road riding... You'll be fine
