Sprint ones are good, but remember that a Steering Damper only masks handling problems (this includes the R6)!

Have they ridden your bike, if not how can they tell? The R6's are twitchy bikes, I will admit that, but the truth is when you sort the suspension out they nolonger require a damper. The damper only masks problems with suspension set up, e.g. TL's come with steering dampers as standard but if you junk the rotary damper the need for a steering damper is instantly dismissed!

That only changes the weight distribution slightly, this is not where the problem is!
