You have a bike it's worth more that a damper...I say just get a quality damper you'll be happy!
I have a scotts and love it! Running stock position clipons on my 636 and hate it either gonna flip them soon or get DB's.. So might have to go with a hyperpro! Any other good dampers that I can use with DB's?

Not everyone wants to dump $400 on a damper right away

Exactly! I just bought a used GPR in mint condition for $250. Just have to keep your eyes open. I've seen them as low as $180 for the earlier V1 6 clicker.

I just got lucky and scored a v1 that leaks for $75

, no scratches, looks mint, just needs rebuilt

Official!!!! Every time I've sent a damper to GPR for whatever reason the most I ever paid was $25, including return shipping.

I took a GPR apart recently and I see where they leak from. It looks like when the damper is installed if whomever installs it tightens the arm to the mount, before the damper body, it binds the damper shaft/arm against the seal causing it to leak. I could be wrong, but that's what it looks like at least.
