hi;
i think dampener's main function is stop the bars from ripping out of your hands. i had a bad crash [70mph] and bent the dampeners stem and caused the unit to leak. i got busted up a little but i think i would have been a lot worse if i didnt have a dampener. dont leave home without it.
i like the scotts because it has more adjustablity, more circuits and now they have a 'remote' mount for husabergs. the cost is like buying cheap gear or good gear...you figure out how much your safety is worth.
wrt the bar vibrations, i have heard that using 'bark busters' ,or the like,
makes the bars stiffer and transfers more vibraion.
wrt grips, i like serfas dual compound. there are on all my bikes.
tuts
