Steering Dampener

Dynamic Bike Innovations

The install was really quick and easy and it tucks behind the forks instead of hanging off the side like other brands.
The damper has 15 settings. You may not feel much affect until you up into the 10-12 click range.
With this installed, the bike was more stable when leaned over at speed.
The head shake from hitting bumps while leaned over was greatly reduced and it recovered quicker.
But probably the biggest difference was how much more comfortable it made the bike on the freeways.
Barely hold onto the grips and the bike just tracks dead straight through the cracks, grooves, and potholes.

The circled bracket below mounts to the underside of the lower triple tree.
It mounts to the hole in the tree that is used for the brake crossover through Hole A on the bracket.
The two prongs (B) fit into the grooves in the underside of the tree. One end of the damper attaches to Hole C, which extends over just behind the left fork.
The other end of the damper attaches to the other bracket that gets bolted to the front engine mount, off to the right side of the bike.
