So, you are right, it should be far better than the old friction damper. My old Beemer even has an adjustable steering damper and it looks to be hydraulic.RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-85660207606434348682014-07-16T18:05:17.864-08:002014-07-16T18:05:17.864-08:00Richard:

Also a shock is double acting so would absorb on the rebound . . .<br /><br />My R1200R also has a shock damper<br /><br />bob<br /><a href="http://www.wetcoastscootin.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Riding the Wet Coast</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-56631041797573901842014-07-16T14:32:09.813-08:002014-07-16T14:32:09.813-08:00I'll pass on a nick-name.I'll pass on a nick-name.

Plus, a passenger will compress the sidecar suspension and decrease the lean out of the sidecar.RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-91630216313251655982014-07-15T15:47:27.415-08:002014-07-15T15:47:27.415-08:00Sounds like a very worthwhile addition Richard.

I knew, having heard numerous times about the push/pull of changing speeds but it was pronounced, possibly more so with me in the car?Coop a.k.a.
