Hi,
I thought of a steering damper too and tested a selfmade one. It was in
the first few hours of learning to ride the python.
It did not help me to keep the bike calm, so I decided to leave it way.
I can not say if a damper would help with high spped problems, i never
tested my selfmad damper with high speeds.
I am still thinking of a rubber block or spring in the steering which is
twisted by turning the wheel. The centering effect would risened by
that, right ?
And the bike won´t flop when it stands without rider.
Maybe two progressive springs for each side could be a suitable
solution. They should be barely strong enough to hold the front part in
the middle, but progressively rise the force when steeering left or right.
Your opinions about that ?

I've seen some of you use a rubber block steering damper, which helps wheel
flop and limits steering extremes. It
can't help with high speed shimmy and oscillations much though. I know they are
very expensive new (300 Euros), but
has anyone tried the oil filled piston steering dampers used on racing
motorbikes to stabilise the front wheel. They
lock against any quick movement but move with steady loading, the opposite of
suspension forks.
All the best

My question is: has anybody ever thought of putting a lock on
the pivot before going downhill? Turning at high speed is
done by leaning anyway.
