Hi, i am looking to get a steering damper for my 2004 xb9sx as i had a tank slepper & it chucked me off & helped me break my shoulder blade(not funny)haha , i have nearly got all the parts i need to get it back on the road, i have put a set of longer & lower renthals on it so i lean over it a bit more but i want to put a steering damper on it this time cos i dont want a tank slapper again.......... there dosent seem to be many to choose from,
does any of you guys have 1 & where did you get it + where is best mounting point?

cheaper option ..

has your suspension been set to your weight , inc. your riding kit ,as this and tyre pressures , make a hell of a difference to the XB's short wheel base

it hasnt, i might give that a go 1st, the guy i got it from had set it to his weight & he was a bit heavier than me, maybe it was set to hard for my weight..

cheers nutah

Did you ride your new bike without making any changes for your weight and style of riding.

yes, it was my 3rd time out on it & i got the launch........
i will be setting it up right this time!!!!!!!!!

Yes try that. Start off with a softer set up and build from that. The steep front end needs to be known and the balance with the rear makes a big diff. Just take it easy for a while untill you know what is going on with the suspension.

will do, cheers for that info..........appretiated

I used to get nasty tank slappers and with my weight at 16 stone ish i just turned up the rear pre-load t its max and since no tank slapping to cause concern.
