ND steering damper

just put a Norman Hyde SD on...wish I'd done it ages ago.
the better quality rear shocks(Ikon) made a big difference ..the progressive coils(ikon) in the forks are great ...but combined with the steering damper it is just so much better..solid, online, no head shake.have to push though corners a bit more but so much more stable .bloody Great
and with the Norman Hyde damper you can keep your gaiters/boots
so if your thinking about a steering damper ...do it !!!

Norman Hyde makes some great stuff. I have a few of their accessories on my wish list... including the steering damper.

Do you have a fork brace installed on your Thruxton? If so, which one?
