You do realise the damper does not cure headshake?
It merely hides it from the rider. If you find the cause and fix it then you won't need the damper.

** I still have one but it's not to cure headshake. I like a tighter feel to the front end because I ride the front tire a lot!!!

I don't run dampers because I work the front hard so I want the maximium possible feedback from the tyre.

definitly true, i understand that..i have ran dampers on all of my bikes and will continue to with this one. i will definitly have to look into the cause of the headshake and take care of that if i feel it is necessary as well.
