    FYI, Just in passing, for testing, I disconnected my GPR stabilzer. I rarely set it above 1.
    Did a 3 Husky rider high quality trail ride get together for a workout and hit the tough stuff that I am familiar with. In the sand loose single track it was fine and steered quickly, but I really noticed the lack of dampening when I jumped into the rock and rocky climb stuff, I kept getting deflected off my lines as compared to the usual with the GPR hooked up. Light over head! Will reconnect damper and continue to keep the setting at minimum as I always have and really know that the thing keep me tracking better in the crappy stuff. Also need a click or 2 of reb dampening after turning a preload turn in on the spring to counter my 20lb over std weight gain, she got a little tail happy.

    SD's are the greatest single thing you can bolt on a bike.

    will reconnect this week and do a little clicker play,,, I think REB up front and in back, need to settle the rear a little and want the front to stay/feel planted better, with less front brake trailing.

    Is it because you are used to it or that they really do retard deflection and tank slapping. Only tried one once on a friends KTM and could not discern if it was a positive or not. I do a lot of ST and was wondering if a damper would retard response time in tight twisty conditions?
