Can't comment on that model, but I put a Storz-Ceriani Damper on and it is a well made unit. I like the damper especially at higher speeds ie. 110, 120+. Just makes the front end feel that much more stable, and getting a wobble at high speeds is not much fun.

I bought it but havent got the chance to test it much since on my first trip with it I had a bit of an issue and went down (me and the bike where ok, just a dent on the tank, broken lever etc), and in the last month I spend doing the final mods that I wanted.

Two weeks ago I did the same trip but the whole weekend was raining so I couldn't go +80mph, so maybe this next weekeng I can give it a try and repport back.

True. They were great to work with and customer service and technical support were excellent. I was debating between the one I bought, some less expensive models, (read some negative reviews) and the double barrel Ohlins (my first choice and around the same price, but not designed specifically for HD).

I went with the Storz model since they created a version for me that would be a direct bolt on with my 2000 frame and 2009 49mm mid glide front end, by combining the parts from a couple of their kits.

Bottom, line is they were very accomodating and helpful, it bolted up perfectly, and works great.

let me know how this one works out, in my experience with steering dampeners you get what you pay for, I've never seen one this cheap, there is usually a reason why its priced at least 200 under the competition.

this is my first experience with steering damers so I cant compared ir to other ones but I think it worked good, the front didn do any movement at all and fent the difference of not having it when I turn it all the way down on the resistence it makes, so I think for now I'm happy!

You purchased the Ebay one or the branded one?

i bought this and used the brackets to mount my motion pro damper... the one that comes stock with the ebay kit is ok, they really stand behind their product well also, have had great luck working with them!

i dont understand why people do not understand why dampers are great! one of the very best things i have done to my bike, the diff in the front end in turns and at high speeds are unreal! highly recomend one!!!
