Video of my steering damper to show how it works
Hi Everyone. I made a video of the Hopey steering damper that I had installed a few weeks ago to show you what it does and how it works.

I'll keep my $250,,,
Way I see It I don't have the need, when I hit things with the front tire at an angle I am fine, because I ride lite and loose.
I don't drive into things I cannot roll over and If I do I pluck the front end up and redirect it..
I need/want to feel the trail, would never deaden that. I would miss my effortless directional changes of just Inches..
I can see where a down hill rider tomahawking down a serious rock garden could benefit from that device..
Only time I had a damper was on my Crotch Rocket motorcycle, at triple digit speeds the dreaded, 'Tank Slapper' could get you dead.
No man alive could have arms powerful enough to prevent this, and IF you tried to resist it that would amplify it.. so a damper was helpful..
Very good Engineering I will say, Blended Into the bike,, Nice piece of tech Indeed.

If this was $30, I think it would be great.
