Steering dampers on SP2s?

I'm a difficult time finding a damper for my '03 rc51. . .

Just curious what everyone else's setup is, and wondering if there is a way to use an aluminum Arrow damper on anything but the SP1? (I have one for an SP1 and was hoping there was an easy way to mount it on an SP2).. model# 11003DAA

I got a Scotts. Hard to say how it works as the RC is pretty stable. All I can say is that I have not had any headshake issues in 3 years of track riding.
