Thanks for that, the short time I was out on the bike it felt good, but was a bit skittery, I probably have to spend a bit of time when I do the upgrades, checking the suspension, headrace bearings and tyre pressures are correct.

I think you're asking in the wrong forum. Most of us here know that the only thing a steering damper will add to your bike is weight. There's likely to be far more useful things to spend your money on.
