Looking for a steering damper, recommendations please...

I'm looking for to fit a damper before I get the rebuilt Ohlins fitted and lift the ride height. Anyone make me a recommendation?

Also, would this fit the Falco? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/APRILIA-RSV-R-MIL ... dZViewItem

If the stock Mille one fits (and it does) I cannot see why that one wouldn't.
Personally I'm happy with a fancy red stocker :smt003

Edit: for a time being :smt003

I have an ohlins (£170ish) on my road bike, and a throwback from the 80's maxton ex-cbr600 on my trackbike on a home made bracket.

Can't tell the difference when riding but ive had no slappers (fnnnaar) since fitting either so they must be doing their job :smt001

I've got the standard Red Mille unit and it seems to work fine. It's not adjustable but that's just as well in my case as I'd end up 'Tweaking' it :smt009 'Twas cheap though which is always a plus!
The ride is the reason ........ the destination is just the excuse.
