And any other bike...just look what China is chucking out for peanuts

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Motorcycle-CNC-Steering-Damper-Stabilizer-for-Honda-Yamaha-Suzuki-Kawasaki-BMW/264063176280?fits=UKM_Make%3ABimota&epid=28026501777&hash=item3d7b644e58:g:JxEAAOSwfX9b~jZv

This looks the spitting image of a Matris Damper...this ones £35...Matris is £600+....someone has bought one so I'd love to know what its like...Laughingly they give you the total "length" of the damper....but importantly NOT the travel length of the rod...so you would have no idea if it "travelled" long enough to give you full lock to lock....Caveat Emptor

Interesting that the third picture says "made in Italy" on the rear black housing at the top but this is absent from the other photos...hmmm so they copied one photo or all, but forgot to edit that bit out.

Anyway with the global economy, who's to say that Matris doesn't outsource their manufacturing to China or Taiwan.

I agree with the buyer beware statement...and it doesn't come with the required bar and tank brackets.

Get the suspension set up properly and you probably won't need a damper
