Steering damper kits wanted!

The only reason I syayed away grom the Scotts style on the R3 is because of the height once mounted and the controls. GPR looked to be a lower profile with the controls in the front not up on top like the scotts. Another thing is the gpr fits around the modified the tripple tree nut where the svotts is up over the top. I am sure the Scotts is a fine unit.

Just my opinion but, if I was getting a wobble of any kind on a rocket below 110 mph then I would start looking at all the variables that affect the geometry first before adding a device to cover up the problem. These bikes are heavy enough and the geometry is correct that they should be tracking past 100mph easily with good stability..

That's a good description, "wiper thing". Mine is slow, but deliberate. Having had a poop your pants tank slapper on my Kaw ZRX1200r at speed, I tend to notice it maybe more than others that have not had such an experience.

The valve control system has pretty well been perfected. It is a custom Rocket 3 mount that is in need. Show us the picture of the proto again, would you. Perhaps you can raise enough money to CNC/cut a proto and test it. I think yours went below the handlebar top clam or the handlebar rested on it. The chassis fixing point would be the gas tank front fixing point.

I have had my front with large windscreen do the wiper thing. At least it was not a shake.

The reason dampers are used and necessary on super sport ****** rockets is the bikes are light and their geometry is designed for very quick response left and right. They may come from the factory ready to fly on a closed circuit track, but out on the street where they encounter all kinds of irregularities in road surface they are not that stable at high speeds.
