anyone used a 08 crf steering damper yet?

??? was thinkin of trying it. theyre small and compact. light weight too.
The problem is they don't work in a straight line. They begin to work, I think, 5 degrees to the left or right of center. It's more of a turning damper than it is a steering damper.
I haven't ridden my '08 450 yet but some are complaining that the damper makes it feel like the stem nut was tightened too much. MXA suggests going to a '07 non-HPSD triple clamp (24mm versus 22mm). If I agree, I'll get a set of 24mm aftermarket clamps.
My $0.02.
