    We all know 'em, Scotts Dampeners

    but for those of you who don't, I just got a pretty good deal. I guess they typically retail for up around $450 (ish). However, I was able to get a complete kit (Damper and mounting bracket, + all hardware) for $407 shipped here (free shipping!!!) site is slightly hard to navigate, but worth it. You can find them in the "Control" category. Only hangup was a local one. UPS driver delivered to wrong house so it took an extra week and a few phone calls, but arrived today and was installed soon after!

    Why do you need a damper? (dampener?) Just curious. I haven't heard you complaining about the F4i.

    I have the same front end on the Race bike and I don't have/need one.

    You should. there is a reason why WERA requires dampers on all bikes.
