Steering Damper
cbxracer30:
A very cheap but effective steering dampener can be had from a GSXR 750 or 1000,cheap on ebay. Weld a tab just above steering stop on the front of the frame neck, drill a hole in it and mount the unit there then purchase a fork clamp from one of the road race suppliers or have one made. This is how I keep them from gettin the shakes at over 100+ in the quarter.CBX

i think i would prefer the weld on

You know what works great on the pin :-) after you clean and grease it put some shrink tubing over the aluminum coller and mount. it makes it just about maintenance free.
