hmmmm to throw this one in. A Cagiva VRaptor 1000 doesn't have a steering damper. However an Xtra VRaptor does. No difference in the bike, apart from I think it has adjustable front fork thingys and a bit of carbon fibre bling.
And all owners that have an Xtra Raptor rip the damn dampers off cause they're not needed and are really pooooooo!

Why the hell would you want a tail tidy when you can spend money on things to actually improve the bike.

A little bit of headshake is completely different to a tankslapper.......i think perhaps your getting a little confused with which is what.
