Is there a steering damper that will work with a LSL bar kit?

The only time I have ever had a wobble like that in the bars in the 43 years of owning Motorcycles has been from a front tire being slightly out of round or way out of balance.
+1 Had the exact same problem on mine and as soon as I changed the tires, problem solved. Ended up being a bad balance job.

I don't have to put a steering damper on mine. I have been road testing since I finished my mods and at 40, 50, 60, 80 mph so far I can take both hands off and the handlebars are rock steady.
No flinching or vibration in tight turns with leaned over either.
I've had it up to 120 mph since I finished the build so far, and its rock steady.
Can't see any reason to spend money on a steering damper.

The Scotts Steering Damper is the best of the best,,,adjutablility in all areas,,,easy to install on the ZX14...that is if you can drill a hole with out screwing up. Its the best,,,
Now I have heard that some people have had issues,,Not sure why,,I have altered on mine some of the settings that most people dont play with that deal with the rate of action within the travel of the steeering arc...and al I can say is yum yum.,,,Not only is there a main adjuster knob for real fast alterations,,(such as all the way tight for strait long distance drives,,or all the way loose for racing the streets,,and then there is those other adjusters,,,of which I have altered and found benefits,,
Scotts Steering Damper is the best,,,Its to bad they dont offer it in silver or red or black or ?
Gold is fine,,on my red zx14...but they should have offered it in other colors as well

2 weeks ago I was on a 2008 ZX-14 with the hyper pro. Wow, it was nice. What I mean by that is, I loved how it was mounted. Great design. Hyper pro uses the screw holes that are already in the neck of the bike. I wish I took a pic. Solid, really solid. I played with all the adjustments. It does not have the big name but believe me it does what it is supposed to. If it holds up why not. Cheers.
