Steering dampner

I always ran them on my bikes, they have saved me a dew times but I couldn't really tell any difference when i put one on my quad. The difference might have been the quality of the damper, I used a Scott's on my bikes and it was o e of the cheapo style that Moose sales for the quad.
Great improvement, they take away much of the shock of the jolts of rough terrain.
If you buy one, get an adjustable, rebuildable one.
Once you have ridden with one, you will never wish to ride again, without one.

both my blasty's have dampners, and you won't catch me ever riding without one again, beside preventing arm hand fatigue, as you barely have to grip the bars in most moderate riding stuations, and they have both saved my ass plenty of times, mainly from the bars getting ripped from my hands during high speed impacts, preventing a certain roll or shooting of the trails into the trees.

Where do you guys get these things for Blasters? Im interested in one for mine. I ride some really gnarly stuff here in Utah.
you will never look back once you run one, it will even totally change the way you ride, specifically the way you don't really have to grip the bars, just kinda loosely hang on, and do more pushing of the opposite bar to turn, instead of white knucking it thru the rough stuff, and pulling for all your worth too turn, resulting in greatly reduced hand/arm fatigue, and mine has even saved my ass a few times when clipping rocks/roots/logs by keeping the bars from being ripped outta my hands and a definate crash
here's the one i'm running.................

be absoluetly sure the ad you buy from says "REBUIDABLE", there are cheaper models for $118ish that are not, and once the seals go out, they're garbage
here's the rebuild kits, just save the link somewhere, you won't be needing it anytime soon..............
