Cheap Ebay steering dampers anyone?

[ACTAngler]

These jobbies from Hong Kong look too cheap to be true. Has anyone tried one (there's a couple of sellers selling the same ones I think). For $50 landed, it's tempting...

Looks like the same product, but from the UK...

Got one in my hand right now....
Ok for the money, the bracket isn't the best finish (rough sawn look to the edges). Each of the steps makes a difference to the feel of it....
No worse than the old, steel 'kawasaki' style ones.

Cheers mate, no issues with seller or delivery?

cheers.joe.

They measure up a bit shorter than my standard one (180mm body, 280mm shaft vs 220mm/380mm). Will they still work in the standard side position (1990 GSXR1100)?

nup, the hit the end of travel just before the steering stops kick in, but havin said that if u are at full lock riding along, u have other issues to think about. U should get about 6 months, then it wil shit the bed.
