Default Steering Damper

If you were in the market for a new steering damper which would it be?

Scotts, Ohlins, or GPR V4??

I thought they both made a rotary type I know Ohlins makes the piston type... but thought they made both.

I'd go with the rotary... Scotts if Ohlins doesn't make one.

Scotts has Ohlins parts. Ohlins doesn't make the one that mounts on your tripple tree, Scotts does. And Scotts is WAY cheaper than Ohlins.

How you figure? Both to me look in the $400 range.

I'd go with the rotary... that 400 is less likely to get damaged if you go down.
