hey i was just wondering if anyone has ran a dampner on their bikes. if so what style.

 

Why would you need one on a cbr1000f ? I've never even had more than a little headshake, and that was only after letting go of the bars while having a cupped front tire on the bike.

 

I would have to agree with Logan, it has to be the laziest steering sportbike on the planet. One of the things I love about my big Cibber is it's rock solid highway stability. Not so good in the twisty-tight stuff but, awsome on the long windy ride home!

 

Wot they said. I have only ever had 2 tankslappers.

One coming out of a tight corner on full noise fully leant over on the track and the other was a very large bump as 250kph.

Both were completly recoverable. I get a tiny amount of wobble in the bars after 200kph when its really windy or bumpy but it never gets any worse than that.

Just make sure you don't ride with your elbows locked and you'll be fine.

yea i kinda figured as slow as everyone says they handle that no one would have one. i put a vfr single swingarm on and i tried to get the ergso similar but its gonna be about a half inch shorter so i was interested in seeing how it would handle. i almost have it back together so i guess i will soon find out. slowly at first of course.

 

Post some pics of your bike sir.
