I installed the damper on my Thrux. I have to admit I did it as a precaution more than a solution. I have found that when you start to mess around with lowering the triple clamps and changing the tire height it effects the steering and this will usually manifest itself when you least expect it to.( Read tank slapper at 130mhp).
On my other bikes I have noticed that the front end might come up exiting a corner and the damper helps the front tire come down in the same line as it when up. While I have not had this problem with my Thruxton, I still have hope.
The installation( Norman Hyde) went on without a problem. The clamp that connects to the frame is not pretty, but it is strong.
