The bars are very, very light above 90 mph. I was using some suspension tuning techniques I read about and if you give just the slightest tug on one side of the bars at high speed, you'll feel it twitch with almost no resistance. I'd like more resistance as I travel above 85 mph a lot.
I understand the resistance thing, but the damper doesn't really add any front end traction. I haven't had any issues - I think the huge rotors compensate for the steep steering angle, but in general there isn't much front end feel on this bike. I guess the question I have is - if it's traction you're looking for, isn't this just masking the issue?
