    Felt the need to fit a steering damper?

    Had my R6 about 3 weeks now and have had some pretty nasty slappers on
    it <insert joke>. I dont mind the odd steering shake here and there,
    but twice now I thought it was going to chuck me off. Is it just me?

    They've always done that, right back since the 1999 model.

    Indeedy - I put an Ohlins on mine, cos I like shiny kit.

    Yep, I've got an Ohlins on my new bike, but still have it on the first
    click so I can get used to how much it's needed.

    [steering damper]
    Those ripples in the garage floor can be most upsetting. You might
    want to go to three clicks.

    No, you put an Ohlins on yours because it was free :)

    That was surreal. IRTA 'nipples in the garage floor'.

    Looks like it has to be done then. Ohlins + fiting kit seems to be
    around 350 sovs (still, at least I dont have the wife to moan about
    such things anymore!). Although there's an ebay shop flogging a Sprint
    one with fittings for 235. Is it worth saving over 100 quid?
