Steering dampers are available in two forms. Linear dampers resemble a telescoping shock absorber and operate in a similar manner. They can be aligned either longitudinally and to one side of the steering, or transversely across the bike. Rotary dampers resemble small boxes and operate via a rotating pivot. They are mounted coaxially with the steering axis and are typically located on top of the steering head. If you have any questions regarding which damper is best for your bike or have any other question, please feel free to contact us by clicking the online help link on our website during normal business hours, or call us at 717-630-2525 and one of our associates would be happy to assist you.
