Please include a quote from your sources explaining how a steering dampner can actually make it worse. I'd need to know about this.

Don't take my word for it. Have a read of Tony Foale's "Motorcycle Handling and Chassis Design" for an expert explanation. I posted where you get the book from. It's a cheap investment compared to building anything to get an understanding of what happens.
In case people are wondering, tank slappers are not the same as the hands-off slowing down wobbles which a damper (or resting a hand on the bars) can cure.
