Do you get a lot of steering shake? Just wondering because the only time my steering has felt "wobbly" has been when my front tire pressure was too high and I was screaming down the highway...
Unfortunately it's a track requirement. Personally I think it's a bunch a phooey... I've run without them for a real long time on many bikes with no tank slappers at all regardless of the setup or situation. It's probably just a rule that stuck and not enough people have questioned it....I digress.
Oh yeah...you can use them... but they really are made like crap. And they look like trash and are difficult to find a mounting point for. There's really only one decent one out there and it's from MPS racing. It's the dogs ***** for sure but at 65$ + 20$ shipping for what amounts to a jumper wire, I'll make my own.

Alright so here it is. This is probably the easiest and cheapest kit you could put together for an F4i steering damper. The bracket as I've already mentioned is an aftermarket one for a 954, the damper is a factory Ducati 749/999 unit. Easy peasy. Also, the lanyard safety is all set and works like a charm.
The snow is here and I just had to screw with it a bit more...I only run one headlight specifically for night time test and tune events, so I wondered...what would it look like with one half blacked out?
I got a Sprint filter today and I thought I'd post up a brief review... It seems like the only options we ever have are OEM< HiFlo and K&N. I got turned onto Sprint from Brocks videos and heres why...
They're made from polyester
They don't need oil
They clean with compressed air
Supposedly they make more power too but pretty much everyone says that about every filter so only time will tell. It is well constructed and is cost effective. 60$ plus shipping which puts it on par with everything else. Here's a pic:
Not a fan of the asymmetrical look, but that's just my own personal issues!
As for the filter, I've thought of going aftermarket but, with little to no power increase and less filtering, I've stayed away. Now, if I were up for running some type of fuel programmer? I'd probably go for it...
My thoughts exactly, after this season I'll be running a PCV and a slip on as well. i figure that should be a good combo. Step 3 is an auto tune with a 40 shot!!
