Gpr, scotts are good rotary style. Toby Piston style is what I have. Ohlins (self explanatory), and Hyperpro RSC are very good. All can be found on a site called indysuperbikes.com. They drop ship from Lockhart Phillips. Next closest to a private sale, or ebay. Cheaper than most. Check out the track type forums, like team promotion or nesba

I have a GPR and it works great on the track and the canyons as well, keeps me very confident coming of the turns under heavy acceleration. I bought it on ebay at a really good price.

I saw the GPR on e bay and outta all the dampers it's the least expensive i thauth that was maybe because it wasn't as good as the other ones .. but u seem to think it's good .. i also saw a brand new scott damper for 505$ (cdn)and it seems to be a resonable price for that item. My first choice was an ohlins damper which did not come with mounting brackets .. think i should invest into that ??

I had a scotts on my zuki and currently have a Storz on the 954, very pleased with both on performace and quality. The only real differance i noticed is the storz is quicker to adjust on the fly, but the scotts is much more compact, but i would buy either one again.
