Great ! As much as I don't care about gaining horsepower on my Rocket, I'm absolutely trying to correct its major handling defect with this fork which shakes on bad surfaces... the steering damper is one of the options, plus normally the cheaper...quickly a solution!

email sent today via google trad...I hope they will understand....

Is that a control knob and gauge for his nitrous? It doesn't look to be attached to the frame, only the trees.
 
A proper cartridge kit for about 2 grand would help with the front also, i assume you’ve already corrected the rear shock with a 1500 piece, those two upgrades will help some, until you figure out the damper.

Yes but the problem is that, to my knowledge, there is no fork cartridge available for the Rocket 3... Öhlins and WP have nothing in their catalog while the rear shock absorbers can be found in abundance (EMC, Shock Factory, Wilbers...) and, in my opinion, there is no point in changing the shock absorber if you do not change the quality of the fork (currently almost impossible to finely adjust). Wilbers makes progressive springs but they are just springs...no change to the internal damping system... Anyway, for now the steering damper seems to be the path to financial sanity! I just hope that the Vietnamese preparer will respond to me to give me a solution for the assembly he carried out.
