I know one person who felt that it didn't mount up well, and it made him feel uneasy about it being there...... I don't know.
I know there are others who INSIST that modern bikes don't need them, and still more people who claim to have had head shake upon crossing RR tracks, bumps, at high speed, etc.
Well...... Thruxton racers with their thousands of dollars worth of suspension upgrades, frequently include a steering damper in the mix. But have you looked at the SIZE of the steering damper they put on their bikes!?!?!
I thought that I've had occasion where I assume a damper would have arrested an occasional wiggle, but that was on my last Bonnie. THIS Bonnie had it's frame blue printed, I've got suspension components specific for my weight and riding style, and custom alloy wheels possibly true'er than factory. But I'm sure my head bearings haven't been tightened down enough, and they're sure as hell not TOO tight.... gotta address that some day.
Thing is, this bike (unlike my last Bonnie) has never wiggled, wandered, wobbled, or even HINTED at getting squirrelly. I still think that a steering damper would look cool, but like my NH fork brace..... it would just be a cosmetic addition.
That's MY take on racing parts for civilian bikes......
