Damper input
I am considering 1 of the 4 following dampers based on price.
They are:
GPR
Harris/Gubellini
Hyperpro RSC active
Scotts
Obviously, I want to buy the best for the $. Please give me any first hand experience and thoughts that you have on which would be the best. Please do not tell me to buy an Ohlins or Matris as I can not spend that for a damper. Thanks for your help.

Tenn. Im in the same boat. I have narrowed it down to a GPRV4 the new one! Its slimmer and the dial is easier to access with gloves on. It has recieved nothing but great reviews. GPR just finished the mount for it about a month ago.
OR
The Matris M4R. I have spent the last 2 weeks trying to find an importer for the dam thing. Not just an hour ago did I get the price.......I can have a beautiful brand new Matris M4R for get this.......are you sitting down.....$750 with shipping. My *** is already starting to hurt........

My friend just put the GPR V4 (new one) on his 954... he swears up and down by it already... seems a LOT nicer then the older one and it definetly looks better... he paid $500 directly from GPR and it was here in NY in a week from Cali.
I have the hyperpro RSc on my 929 and love it...
just make sure whatever one you get its adjustable on the fly

Yeah I think any of the big-name models are going to perform great, but like NY said, make sure it's adjustable on the fly.

I assume that the RSC that you have is the active one? Any problems with leaks? Do you have any pics of it mounted? I really like the looks of it, but did not know anyone who was using it. Is it adjustable on the fly? Tell me more....

yes its " active" as it gets stiffer on its own when it senses the pressure... I have never had a tank slapper or even com close to it with it on, and i am able to exit leaned turns with much more throttle and not get that floaty front end feeling

It is completly adjustable on the fly, simply turn the **** ( 28 settings)... i have had it on for just over 2 years and have NO problems with it & No leaks... Couldnt be happier..

RE: Damper input
I had the Harris/Gubelini dampner on mine for about a month before the whole bike got stolen... but it was awesome. It had 30 adjustments from non existent all the way to super stiff (it was extremely difficult just to move the bars from lock to lock at a stop)... I got mine on eBay for $150.
