[QUOTE="PSJBrock, post: 107407, member: 1050"] I rode a YZ125 for 6 years in the desert and never had a steering damper on it. When I got back into riding I got a YZ450 and put a scotts steering damper on it. I HATED IT. But I also hated the 450. I could never get that damper adjusted right. I sold the 450 and got the Husky TC250 I installed the damper on it and I love it. I will never ride a bike without one. All the other desert bikes I have ridden have had the Scotts damper. The KTM I just built had the GPR and my father in law doesnt like it as much as the Scotts. I can feel the steering damper working when I am in High speed washes, the damper takes all the head shake or bike sway out. In tight technical stuff if you hit a rock super hard it will prevent the bars from jerking out of your hands. But at the same time you can feel it work against you in low speed corners. Once you get it adjust right for you it makes all the difference in the world. The way you can save some money is buy a scotts off of ebay, just the damper. Then call scotts and order the mounting bracket for your bike, they all use the same damper. This way will save you maybe 100-200 bucks. Hope I didn't confuse you. [/QUOTE]
