[QUOTE="vapide, post: 8128, member: 181"] The 46117-006 Kawaski H1/Z1 damper was the first really effective, easily available such damper, and, being adaptable and cheap, has been sold over the years by many vendors as a "universal" damper, often without even referencing its Kawasaki origin. The current ones all seem to be made by NHK, and described as identical to the original, and it may well be that NHK was or is the OEM. The weird thing about these dampers is the price spread! You can find them listed for anything from $50 to to $400. Ok, the $50 places all seem to be out of stock with no idea if they will be getting more, but there seems to be plenty of them in the $80-100 range. It would be interesting to know whether the $300 current one from Kawa is the same old black steel one as others are listing for $50-100. [/QUOTE]
