>>>>then if a steering damper in a band-aid then why do pro racers use them, with high dollar forks and shocks the best money can buy?

For the same reason I have life insurance.

I wouldn't be without either in certain applications but I don't think life insurance makes me a better driver, rider or pilot.

That'll be cool, I can't wait to see how it does in competition.

I would think that Buell Racing will have some goodies for you - at least they should.

I heard an interesting riding impression from the VIR Track Pass. Comments from racers that race both Buells and other bikes stated that the 1125R was the most stable bike they had ridden on a track. Many commented that most of the I4 Japanese bikes need the Steering Damper to get the most out of the bike on a track. Some even come stock from the factory with them. I missed the VIR event and regret it. But after talking to a dozen or so that made it, none commented that the 1125R was in need of a Steering Damper.

I have had five XB Buells each one that had some amount of head shake under certain high speed conditions. If it is really non-existent in the 1125R that is a Huge improvement that I find very exciting. Point Buell.

I found out during the Inside Pass I went to the bike does settle on it's own just like Lance told us during the orientation meeting. I took a different line than normal into a corner and hit a big crack (4"wide) and the front wobbled for a second and then calmed down on it's own without input from me.
