Why would you want to ?
In 7 years and 110000 K's I've never felt the need for one, and I know of nobody else on the forum that has either.

It has been brought up before but the problem with shaking is bad front tire or fork oil.

+2 if you think a damper is needed - front tire is cupped and or f/r alignment is way off

These bikes are front heavy and seldom need them imo

why?

Hi,

+1 never felt the need for a damper.

Lighter twitchier bikes do but these sit solid on the road - have a look at tyre and alignment before investing in a damper.
