I'm in the market for a steering stabilizer for my 1125r and am trying to decide between a GPR or EB R Ohlins damper. The GPR kits are about $400 shipped whereas the Ohlins is $479 plus shipping. But I prefer a damper that's hidden and not totally exposed. Then I've heard that the Ohlins is pretty time consuming to install.

I'm leaning towards the GPR kit due to it being close to $100 cheaper and easier to install even though the Ohlins is nice and hidden. Those of you with experience with both, what are your opinions?

I like my GPR, you can adjust on the fly. Plus you can rebuild it. Just my 2 cents.
