Hydraulic steering damper and trail.

Don't be done. It took me a long time to recognise what the extra trail does and how to use the change. Only an idiot would brake before a corner, flick the bike in and immediately accelerate full blast. I was able to do it on every corner. If you watch the videos I posted, it is possible to see the trend. I just hope that somebody else learns to do that with a Commando. What unnerves me - is it is too easy. If I ever race again, I am likely to have a really big crash.
Thanks for participating in the discussion. It helps me think, when my ideas are criticised

Yes...but...I can't find one in stock..anywhere......
My Japanese connection says that NHK is no longer making this damper.

If you know any guys who race, go and visit them. Modern race bikes have very nice steering dampers. You should be able to pick one up somewhere without paying a motza.
