Steering Dampner
I didn't say they would prevent tank slappers, I said they should "reduce the frequency of this happening".
Please include a quote from your sources explaining how a steering dampner can actually make it worse. I'd need to know about this.
Here is my theory/opinion on steering dampners. Every system has a set of natural frequency's where the system achieves resonance. The purpose of the steering dampner is to have a resonance that is different than the steering system so that they provide checks and balances to each other.
Can a system go into harmonics with a dampner in place. Sure. But, if the dampner is selected and applied properly I'm assuming it will reduce the frequency of circumstances underwhich "tank slapping" will occur.
In my experience, I've been able to take two bikes that were prone to tank slapping and make it them less prone to tank slapping via a steering dampner.
