LSL Steering Damper Kit, Racing
Caution: Not for use on public roads! ONLY for the race track!
Regularly, the designers of particularly sporty motorcycles with extremely low weight and extreme steering head angles deal themselves heavy influence of shimmy (handlebar flutter) and kick-back (handlebar slap) – phenomena that impair driving pleasure and safety.
To get these influences under control, the steering damper is used in racing. LSL also offers this instrument for use on the road.
The correct installation of the steering damper is crucial for its optimal performance and faultless operation. LSL therefore develops individual brackets for each model. The steering damper kits are equipped with model-specific parts certificates, and installation is described in detail in comprehensive installation instructions.
