Do you like the Steering Damper for a Gen 1?

I have a steering damper on mine which was there when I bought the bike, I don't know if it does anything as I've not ridden without it fitted, I have it set to the 'softest' position and never experienced any high or low speed issues with stability

Thank you for that.
 
Yeah, I have never believed in the need for one on my VMax Gen. 1 rides in 28 years of ownership. Fix the problem causing the shimmy. It's probably 80% a worn/old front tire, 10% leaky forks, and 10% worn, poorly-adjusted steering head bearings.
