Anybody have any thoughts about it? I've heard about Scotts, but have heard nothing on WER.

Kinda hard to adjust when you're moving

But, overall, is that the only issue? I know it is on the finder oppose to the bars.

I don't know, I rode a bike with one and I'd not buy one. It didn't appear to be doing it's job - atleast not compared to my Scott's

I've only found one guy who like him, but I've never considered him very bright anyway.  Buy the best...Scotts.

Just a small update here: I did not read anything negitive about the WER damper, so I purchased one, just cause I did not like the handle bar type Scotts deal. Anyway, it's been awesome. Perfect for the sand. Works 100% and something I don't know how I lived without. Anyway, good investment. No discredit to Paul and Rick. Just couldn't get past the on-the-bar type damper.

I think anyone would be happy with either Scotts, GPR or WER.  To me, picking a damper is like picking a helmet.  Good luck with the WER.

I'm running the WER on my KX250 and like it. I'm undecided on how much a damper helps though. I'm 33 and have been riding without one since day one and have had this one on for about 2 months :?  I'l be riding the 500 tomorrow without a damper so we'll see what the diff is.

I really notice that when I let the front wheel down off a wheelie or a jump, it does not have any head shake, especially on the hard surfaces. Mainly in the sand it helps me. But it could always be just my head telling me it's better, kinda like using a roostboost, you think it's faster, but really it is not. :-) Just cause your head does not want to let you down by saying, idiot, you wasted $300. :-)

Who knows.. Peace of mind for me and I feel it did alot.
