    Irish guy ... dear god don't let him hear you call him that! Simon is Scottish ... Irish, no ... Scottish, yes. However, knowing the difference still doesn't make him any easier to understand.

    The other ADHD nut-job is Alex. All I can say is thank god for extra strength Ritalin....

    Yeah, we've taken bench racing to a whole new level ... just wish we raced as well as we smack talk to one another.

    Now that I know who you are, too bad you're moving away. Heck, Kitt's moving away from us too. Was it something we said??? The smell from our garage??? What???

    Personal preference.

    Same reason people choose certain tires, oil, chain lube, air pressure, type of bike, etc.

    Re: hyperpro steering damper

    Admittedly, the only rotary-type damper I used was on a 400EX.

    Personally, I couldn't care less which one dampens my steering so long as the results are there when I need them.

    linear, mechanically simpler and (in my opinion) more reliable. It seems the design behind the rotary dampers makes them more susceptible to needing rebuilds (this may also just be because those dampers are made by crappy manufacturers). I know some people have had great luck with rotary. I'd be willing to try just because they take up less real estate than the linear top mount.

    Re: hyperpro steering damper

    I've had both. A stock linear on a 93 GSX-R750 and rotary on the 900RR (Scotts) and 1000RR (HESD).I've never had a tank slapper to date, even on bikes that didn't have dampers.

    Does it seem easier for that to happen on bikes without? I guess I've never pushed a bike hard enough to know that. I rode both the 900RR and SV at Loudon without dampers and they didn't feel unstable at any point. (unless you want to cound my lowside in T6 from too much bar input)

    Good to know, I haven't really heard much feedback on scotts, but I think GPR is a lower production cost copy of the scott's, so I never bothered to pay attention.

    Also, you don't have to be riding hard to get slappers, but any type, if it's working and set properly, will help.

    It's the not-working-needing rebuild frequency that drives the value to me.

    I have Hyperpro RSC active damper. Really like it, and it does a great job.

    Chuck, never got a little headshake coming from T7 to T8?

    Never. At least I never noticed any. Maybe I was just too busy looking for my reference points.

    Not enough track experience to feel what my bike is doing.
