Default Another question about dampers - comparison.

So I'm still in the market for a steering damper for my '06 636. I think I have it narrowed down to two options now and I was just hoping some of you guys had some experience/heard reviews about them. I'm either going with an Arrow Competition Titanium Damper w/ Nitrogen Charging, or a GPR Rotary Stabilizer Kit. The GPR is quite a bit cheaper but I have no experience at all with Rotary dampers and don't even have any idea how they work. What do you guys think of the GPR and the Arrow? Also what's required for the installation of the GPR? I don't really ride hard very much, but where I live the roads aren't always the best on the nice trails and my bike loves to wobble there. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Ok Ok . . . the Hyperpro seems pretty popular I noticed. I was just wondering though, what's involved with the installation? Any drilling required? Hard to install? Thanks.

sure can, sounds good guys. Thanks. I'll probably be purchasing one within the next few weeks. Hopefully I can find something cheaper here in Canada rather than buy from the US and pay ****loads across the border . . .
