    Steering dampers/dampners/stabilisers

    Whatever you want to call it, which brand did you go with and why? Particularly interested in the GPR style stabilisers if anyone has one or has used one in the past. I'm just weighing up options to replace the stock item on my GSXR1000K3... any suggestions?

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    Iv got some japanese one on mine, came already installed when I got my bike. Will check what brand later, seems to do the job well enough.
    Never let your enemy see your emotions, for it is the one weapon they will value most.

    another opinion if you are on a budget,

    you can modify the stock damper with heavy weight oil, i have done that to my 600.

    Like Stranger said get the thing going, then ride it and decide if you need it going,
