Well, it happened to me yesterday.
I was riding at a good clip on a straight road when I hit a hole in the street and next thing I know, the handle-bars are going crazy on me. It must not have been a real tankslapper bc I managed to keep her upright, but what do I know, this is the first time something like this happened with the little Sv and I'm just happy I could ride away with my heart going boinkers and sincerely hope this will never happen again. However, considering the condition of some of our roads here, it's a rather difficult task to avoid all the holes and bumps when riding. I've already changed the front stock suspension with WP's but a friend who was riding with me suggested to put a steering damper on the SV. For some reason I always associate those with bigger bikes than the SV, so I was wondering if any of you have any experience with this.
