Ohlin Steering Dampner

Hey has anyone installed a steering dampner on there F4i? I'm looking at getting and putting an Ohlin on, but want to make sure that it is worth the coin and makes a difference.

F4i has probably one of the most stable frond end I know.. no need for steering damper unless you've messed with the geometry or tires.

Waste of money for street f4i's. Track bike it can help.

Will it make a difference? Yes. Is it worth the coin? That's entirely up to you. I've never had a damper on my F4i, but I wouldn't mind having one. They aren't just useful for the track.

I've never gotten anything close to bad headshake off the track in 6yrs and 60,000 miles of riding an f4i. If you do, you probably need to either adjust suspension or adjust your grip on the bars [or both].
