Look up Tim from Superbike Supply on this site, he can do the hyperpro models to suit your bike, I picked one up off him for a similar amount to your budget. A great addition to your bike.

Matt, if you've still got this dampener can you let me know what size it is. Thanks.

my advice is to consider spending that $600 on getting the suspension sorted.
you might find you dont need a damper no more.

just my 2c worth.

I fitted a steering dampener to my zed a fair while ago because it was so twitchy in the front, and it helped. I bought the hyperpro one and I think it's fantastic.

However, I've had the suspension done since.. and now the dampener spends it's life on one of the lowest settings as I simply don't need it anymore (exception is the really bumpy stuff)
