[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 80874, member: 597"] That's excellent feedback Martyn, I hadn't even thought of the loose stuff. Most all I know so far have indicated that they feel the steering damper is near redundant, as the steering now feels so much more stable. I know on the racer I set the hydraulic damper to it's middle position and never changed it, There was one corner about 2 thirds the way down the main straight at Lakeside called "The Kink" which you could take very fast and on full throttle if you had enough "Bottle" I don't know if I ever actually held it on full chat going through there, as immediately coming out the other side was quite rough I'm guessing because of ridges caused by cars. I am guessing that a stock front end Vincent would have almost certainly shook it's head Violently going through there, But I remember very well the racer getting shaken quite a bit going through, but never did it shake it's head. This was probably the track that I either raced at or held practice days the most, so I got to know the track very well. Lakeside is a very historic track here in Australia, and quite a dangerous track too, several people killed there over the years particularly on bikes. I didn't want that to happen to me, though I did get knocked off on my second ever racer there.............:eek: [/QUOTE]
