Steering dampers??

Are they worth the purchase? Are they a easy install?
Just wondering how much they would really be worth getting for a bike.

It depends on what bike we are talking about here.

For an 07 6R, yes, it's worth it, and yes, they are a very easy install. For an 05-06, not as necessary, and some are hard to install due to needing "light" welding done.

A steering damper damps unwanted steering inputs, such as from bumps in the road, and it helps to stop unwanted handlebar motion such as tankslappers from occurring.

Just got done installing Scotts Damper on my ZX-6RR trackbike. Easy to install, just had to drill two holes. Just in time for Mosport next weekend :)

Steering dampers are a neccesity, especially if your bike didn't come with one. My street bike (R1) and track bike both have dampers. Best modification you can make to your bike (other than suspension setup).
