[QUOTE="oexing, post: 121461, member: 1493"] A friction damper makes for an unpleasant steering once you do it up hard enough for any friction action at all. Otherwise it has no effect at all in a critical situation - and you cannot know before it happens. So really an adjustable hydraulic damper is a joy to have, it is not felt in normal use on the road, only when parking in the garage. But when a tank slapper condition is provoked by some circumstances it does a great job at quick motions with its damping hydraulics. You´d be able to drive one-handed on any road conditions without fear of inducing a wobble or shimmy . Did the hydraulics on the fifties Horex Regina last year and liked it at once on rough roads I like most. No more vibrations in the handlebar from ripples on the road.
