Honestly never felt like I needed a steering dampner on a 750....
Ofcourse not. Honda would have fitted one. One would have expected compelling laws. Never heard of any so far.
Wrong, my friend, do you insure your bikes...? A steering damper is an insurance policy, I have had a couple of underwear changing tank slappers on a very well sorted K2 {for the time}, one caused by a small pot hole and the second worse one was just a crossing a thick painted center line on the road while overtaking at speed, that one very nearly threw me and bruised my hands, it was very violent, actually while i think of it I have had 2 others on friends bikes as well, one on a H2750 Kawasaki {after the front wheel came down
} and another on a GT550 Suzuki {ended up in a reserve on the side of the road}, both know for their less than graceful handling. My point is, think yourself lucky you haven't had one and maybe be a little more open minded as to why the dampers are a good thing to add on old bikes, Most if not all modern sport bikes have them as standard, also the K model Honda's had relatively small trail numbers at the front, around 3.7? inches, which even by todays standards makes for a nervous front end {most sport bikes are around 4 inches of trail}. The K2 i spoke about earlier received a damper after the second tank slapper and never misbehaved again, it was well set up and ridden hard, I've had dampers on every other 750/4 i've owned and will continue to use them...
The old black NHK z900 steering dampers were what i used ...
