Tis the truth!!!:laugh

Or go the cheap route and just buy a 1/5th throttle insert and some loud cans...then just enjoy it.

Carefull what you buy secondhand..there's a lot of worn out stuff out there!

Oh and welcome, brilliant tech stuff for the TLS on this site:)
Cheefs guys im from wolverhampton west mids previous bikes few r1s 04hayabusa gixxer tho zx9 blade this is my first ever twin loving it my concern atm is no steering damper
if your worried about the damper you can get all the bits cheap enough off ebay

oh welcome
Has everyone got them ? Only bike i ever fitted one to was my 2003.r1 as it was recomeneded but you here bad romours about the tl
Don't believe everything you hear about the bike with no damper, plenty on here haven't got one and it doesnt fuss them :thumbup nice looking bike there dude.
Welcome,looks like a nice find that,personally i am a fan of the damper but each to there own,keep an eye out in the for sale forum as from time to time they come up.I replaced mine with an aftermarket one and methinks the oem ones still in the shed somewhere,yours for post price but am downunder in NZ so may not be worth your while,
