What do you think of this universal steering damper? Too good to be true? How easy would it be to fit to a storm?

Re: What do you think of this steering damper?
Apart from the fact it's blue....
Probably lost in translation but the bit that worries me is...''Easy to install, fitting instructions not included.......''
You'll also notice that the pic of the one on the bike is completely different to the one in the other pics ?
30 squid + postage seems cheap but then it probably is, you pays your money.........

Making up since 2007, sometimes it's true...Honest...

Re: What do you think of this steering damper?
IMO you get what you pay for, and there's a reason most dampers are £100+.
That being said, I've used Neverland (that seller) for a few bits before and they've been pretty good! If you check their other items they have different colours too.
Thing that worries me is not only no instructions, but appears to be no fitting kit either. I've never fit a steering damper before but I'm sure you can't just bolt that on as-is, you'd need to make some brackets.
Tempted to see how much I get paid this month and give it a shot tho, the front wheel wobble gunning it out of corners is getting a lil concerning!

It's to cheap and from China. If you want it for looks then It could be worth it, but I would not expect it to dampen the steering. Or if it does, it wont last long. Your probably better off putting the money towards upgrading the front suspension if it's not been done. If you have original forks, how about a fork brace, that could help with the judder.
