I only race two or three times a year. Dunes take priority over sitting for ten hrs and racing for two ten minute motos. Whats my best call then??

bottom line, a steering damper will reduce riding fatigue. you will have a better riding experience with regardless of the type of riding you do. i have the rebuildable pep unit on my black bull. only ridin it once with it on (starkville arena x) but i could tell a big difference right away. the pep unit looks just like the one on my honda 250r (unimpressive clamp design). the damper looks nice and the aluminum clamp that connects it to the frame is nice but the old galvanized gray pot metal bracket that connects to the steering stem is plain ugly. my 03' cannible had the bracket on the steering stem, but the hole in the bracket and the end of the damper rod were different. pretty easy to install, the hand written directions were pretty weak, but all in all, it does a good job. i have never heard of any brand performing poorly. good luck. also, the anti-vibe handle bar clamp fit my stock 03' steering stem!!!

Not all of them. I need to get one also but don't have the stem on my stem.

1cannonman,
Which one do you have? I'm thinking the WEP from R&S. A bit steep price wise. PEP is close by and I could get one quick.

I just took the clamp that they sent me about 2 months ago and reamed it out to fit the stem.
Worked great!!! What a difference it made. I ride in the sand some and it smooooothed it out great.
One of the best improvements I've done.
Good Luck!!!

I went with Denton rebuildable one and couldn't be happier..

Denton works great about $130.

At the time I got the denton I had to use the stem clamp from banshee and 250r frame clamp I had to bore out the stem clamp to make it fit.I believe he now has a cannondale model.The WER and Ohlins have more adjustment for damping but I cant believe you would need it I usually have my denton on 2 and on really rough or real high speed I will go to 3 or 4 it has 7 clicks.Save your money buy the denton I went with the nonrebuildable type since I had one on my 250r's for over 6 years with no problems.

If you want a WER or Scott's go out on ebay and get one there. You can always buy or make an instillation kit. Street bikes and quads have the same dampening. So WER told me. There kit for a Cannondale is $70.

I have a PEP on my Raptor and it works great and was reasonably priced. HOWEVER, it was a total B***** to
install and i wasnt pleased with the attitude of folks i contacted at PEP. Like i was bothering them. I dont like that.
Denton, however, has a couple reasonably priced ones and all their products look good, though i have never rated them on the phone. Were i to do it again, it would be Denton.

I know that the moto and blaze has a stablizer that comes stock, also it cost a couple of $$$$. Is there any other company that makes one? I know PEP has one but what about anybody else.
Posted by: MOTOWN
I rembered that someone said that a Denton one would work but you had to do some work to it to get it to fit the Dale? So if I call to order one will the guys tell me what to do to get it to fit? And the right parts?
Posted by: Cdale1
i have a scotts and its is way better than the rod types
its almost the samn as the ohlins that the blaze and moto come with but a tad cheeper

I have a W.E.R. I haven't tried any others. All I know is after dialing it in, This thing made a world of differance. Especially in the straight aways. Hope this helps.

Sandgod,
Sounds like 150 to 350 $. Major diff in price. I have a W.E.R. $350 Kit. Works Awesome. Vote GOP. Hope this Helps.
Hey CDALE1. How well is that exhaust workin' out? Mine Sucks.
Posted by: dubya1
I agree with C'Dale, It will make a differance with any riding or riding style.

I just ordered a Scotts unit from hardracing.com for $410 inc shipping. BTW the damper is EXACTLY the same as the Ohlins unit and much less expensive than buying the pieces through Cannondale. My dealer wanted $ 550+tax after haggling for a while.

Weve got the denton on one of our bikes and its a good unit (the rebuildable one). We also have the Sotts on one. Nicer unit but alot more money, its like the one on the moto, but much cheaper than the Ohlins unit from the factory, ( about $250 cheaper). One more is the W.E.R. which I believe R&S Performance sells, same type, but I have never tried one, it is also about $100 cheaper than the Scotts.
Good Luck!!!

I deal with denton quite a bit, and recently was talking To Scott over there, he told me he had new clampner clamps being made specifically for the C-dale as we spoke. The clamp really isn't that big a deal because the C-dale comes with it already welded on it?
Posted by: LapTraffic
How tough are these to install? Any cutting or are they bolt on?
Is the WER significantly better than the Denton? Or is the Denton satisfactory? It's a lot cheaper
