I had a damper I bought from the classifieds ... it came from one of the vendors that's on here all the freaking time. It was a nearly new piece. Showed no signs of being used to me and this price was right. I didnt like how it mounted (clamping to the frame) but again - price was right. Yes, it ended up marking the frame when I removed it. It lasted all of a month before it stopped doing anything effective. I could have just bought a replacement Shindy piston thing-a-bob ... but I hated how the whole thing mounted on my bike - was so freaking long/big, it was over an overbearing contraption hooked on the side (eye sore), and flopped around because of the mounting banjo-style clamps (see: cheap) - I just didnt like it. So much that I bit the bullet and bought a new Norman Hyde piece from my fav vendor - especially after comparing mine side by side with Thrux-ton-up's. The NH set up was so well thought out/engineered and the quality was MUCH better. The NH damper also doesnt require you buy anything else in order for it to be mounted.
If you look at my pic below (of the Thrux) - you can see my old set up mounted on my bike while I was riding in NC back in Aug this year. Bleh.
