Which type are the best, rotary, or the kind with the shock? What brands are dependable? What other questions should I be asking?

 

I cannot say if one is better than the other. My first thoughts on a damper is of crash damage resistance and how/where the damper is located. I have yet not proven to myself why I even have a damper.

 

Hey man i had a hyper pro and it rocked. PM Evil, he has an extra one that he will sell.

 

Ever notice how light and squirley your front end can become when you are hard on it off a corner, tank slapper. Those are 2 reasons to have a steering damper.

 

The only slapper that I have been involved with was at over 145mph and not exiting a turn. The ride dancing under you on an exit to me is either the rider or the setup or both. Like I mentioned, I have yet to realize the potential of a damper. In fact, I will remove my stock damper on the 10r because most people think that the stock damper is useless. I will run the ride without and with just to test.

sorry for the hyjack of the thread.

 

Just another reason for a damper.

 

hahaha, ok, I will shut up on that topic.
ok, we are now back to rotary or piston dampers. On topic that is.

 

I am happy with my HyperPro. A couple of guys had problems with them but I think it was resolved?

 

I am leaning twoards the GPR rotary style one. I chose this over the scotts because of the pinless mount. I am not too comfortable drilling and tapping holes in my frame. Can anyone give me a reason not to get this one?
