I like my scotts, only quarl with it is that I have to remove it in order to get under my tank. Not under there often though! Works very well!

Scotts\Ohlins or HyperPro RSC.

Anyhting with highspeed\lowspeed adjustments... and don't confuse speed with MPH. Its all about steering input speed.

But any steering damper is better than none...
