Damper Model (Off-road vs Road)
We highly recommend the offroad model for all dual-sport motorcycles. The Road model is best for racing on the track. The most important difference between the two is that the Road model, dampens to and away from the centre while Offroad model mostly dampens the steering away from the center.
What's wrong with the stock damper?
Nothing is wrong with the stock damper. In short, it is just not enough. The main short coming is that it NOT adjustable. Adjustability of the steering damper is critical for a especially for a dual-sport motorcycle where the bike is ridden in extremely different environment. Riding on muddy trails or sand, gravel or pavement, fast or slow all demand a different level of dampening for your steering damper. Scotts damper lets you change the dampening force by a few click on the fly. It also has separate low-speed and high-speed dampening which is where it really shines. In majority of cases you only change the low-speed dampening as you ride by a few clicks at a time as you ride to find the perfect level.

Note: Because of the location of the new glove box, in order to remove the glove box from the bike for any reason, you will have to remove the Scotts damper first. The damper comes out easily with two bolts.
