Well I finally sold my KTM530 EXC and as soon as Wattsy from flinders MC in Port Pirie gets his 2010 models in, I will get my FE570 (Yay !!)
This bike will be a keeper for me and I want to put some luxeries on her without just wasting my money. The black chrome grafics looks the goods for the bling department, but for handling I was thinking of installing the factory (Husaberg branded) steering damper on her ??
Never had a damper on a bike before and not sure whether it's worth the $$$
I ride tight single trail to open flowing high speed beach stuff. The highlight of my riding year is our clubs yearly trip to the high country in the Victorian alps, where we spend an entire week riding some of the steepest. muddiest, rockiest, gnarly country you can find.
More than a few times I have had the bars wrenched from my hands hitting rocks and roots, and nearly come un stuck in the process. Will a damper be worth it for the riding I have described ??
Everyone I have heard that has one says "Once you buy one you will wonder why you didn't years ago" .
Would that be a fair statement or a biased one ??
I would hate to cough up $1400 (Aust $$) to find it really not that good.
