New front tire and furbur fix took care of 45 mph wobble. My 06 had it also very noticable on decel.

Here is a picture of the 2 styles that I know of. The first is a Hyper Pro, not sure of the brand name of the second.

I don't like the looks of that second one, I can envision a situation where that damper rod might end up behind a knee cap. :stickyman:
The Hyper Pro looks like the way to go. IMHO

Mines pretty much identical to the second one.
It's really more of a play pretty I think than anything else, but I like it.
I'm 6 feet tall and couldn't stick my knee into it if I tried, unless I ran into the back of a car or something, in which case I be worried about other stuff anyway....
The "rotary" style dampers used on sport bikes are the way to go, but are in the $400 range and I don't think would fit a Max....
And while I generally tend to agree that a 100% perfectly set up bike doesn't need a damper, the good ones do work and work well,
Most classes of road racing will not allow the bikes on the track at all without a damper, because a perfecxt set-up is one thing, but tuning out absolutely 100% of shake/oscillation and weave is pretty much impossible......so after doing every thing you can do to get rid of the cause, you adress the symptom
