Default Re: Info needed

It doesnt need a damper. I never had a slapper, I had it shake its head but only because I provoked into doing so over a lump on a road with a really bad surface on it when I was ragging the nuts off it.

Alot of the more sports focused IL4's have them because the steering geometery of a bike like my GSXR is different and its more prone to shaking its head.

If you're that worried about it, if you sort out the cause of the shakes, i.e IMHO the undersprung front end it wont do it anyway. Alternatively if you're that worried about it fit an aftermarket damper or retro fit a GSXR front end that does have a damper on it.

I wouldnt let something like this put me of buying an SV though...
