Steering Damper Speed Triple Rs?

I've been looking as well (can't find one either) agree with you it does need one.

 

Don't confuse tank slapping with head shake, my Speed Triple shakes its head now n again and no more than a bike fitted with a damper. The fork steering stops are very limiting on the ST for that reason.

 

Head shake won't throw you off a bike but a tanks slaper might, if your bike is getting into a slap then there is something wrong with your bike possibly

 

I haven't had any either in 3,000 miles so far, that's including some very fast (80+) bumpy twisty roads while on holiday.
So, my RS, at least, doesn't seem prone to it.

It'd be a shame to slow the steering down if it doesn't need it.

 

If a steering damper doesn't slow the steering down then it's not actually working....

I've been spat off by a couple of bikes after tank slappers, one of those was on a bumpy road on a GSXR1100L fitted with a steering damper, got spat over the front and broke my foot on the petrol tank,so the damper didn't help much there
Tried riding the GSXR once without the steering damper, feck me, I never tried that again !!!

 

R reg r1 was absolutely horrific..... steering damper bought it was better, only tried to kill me a few times.
That aside my view is the rs would defiantly benefit from a steering damper.

 

80+ is that it..... whimp thats going steady that man!

 

My Rocket had one fitted when I bought it, and I didn't know what exactly it did till I watched the video.

 

It depends on the roads.....

No damper required here

 

Or here

 

No steering damper here... never had one actually, so don’t know if my opinion counts .

Have had some “quick” winding roads in the Alps though, where there’s not much “shame” left on back tire. But hey, if you want one... get it! (Preferably in carbon )

 

According to a google search, Hyperpro seem to be the only company to sell a motorcycle 'Reactive' damper and their explanation of how it works is rather different...

You do turn the bars at speed, it's called counter steering.
Here's an explanation of counter steering by a guy who knows a bit about it.

Homegirl gave me a bit of a shake the other day and really got me worked up that triumph didn't send the RS out the factory with one. How can you release 'track inspired' bike without one of the most quintessential track additions.
Every other liter bike on the market, that i'm aware of, has one from the factory.
