Has anyone felt the need to fit a steering damper to their Falco? - especially anyone who has gone down the falco-to-tuono route or moved the clip-ons above the top yoke...

Mine in standard trim feels very stable - never wobbles even when returning to the ground from a wheelie all crossed-up.

I definatly need one. But only after I changed the bars to tuono bars. Never was a problem before.
Front end gets a bit flightly when im on the throttle.
My local bumpy roads don't help much

Same here. Higher bars + bumpy roads + enthusiastic right hand = disaster waiting to happen...

Another good reason not to fit high bars (if ever I needed one)

Max rear ride height, forks with 4 rings showing - as stable as a rock and as flickable as you could want (think the wheels help that a bit too)

i have fitted two - the original pink/red mille unit then a later ohlins mille one

the original, non adjustable was ok - sorted out the bars having moved - the later ohlins was well worth the 35 quid :)
