But if'n you want to get rid of a little headshake, a Scott's steering damper would work just fine...........

Agreed. Hard to beat Ohlins linear BUT I know a few that have had great luck with their Scott's rotary as well.

There's also the GPR rotary but I do know that several people had issues with the older units leaking. The newer ones may be better.

I never had an issue on the GSXR with headshake. Come to think of it, I've never experienced headshake on any bike I've ridden.

So far me either. We don't have one on our R6 and it does concern me since the wife rides it the most but again...never experienced it on that or any other bike I've owned.

I caught a bad case on the f1 once. Not fun. Nearly highsided

Yeah I've seen videos of it happening, I just don't know how to get into that situation.

Uneven pavement was all it took. Luckily whoever wrote the nj state test manual did an excellent job and I knew how to save it.

Me either, but thats probably b/c both of my bikes have had a damper on them.

Yep...definitely not a problem buying one as far as I'm concerned either...just saw some people having issues with leaking in the older ones but even then...there was no safety issue with them at all and I "think" just replacing a seal even corrected that.

Scotts has Ohlins technology in them. I have a Scotts on my R6, works great. And I have Ohlins suspension which is fucking killer!
