Yes a rider CAN benefit from aftermarket steering dampers but why make it a requirement? Stock front suspension with absolutely no rebound damping can also cause crashes but where do we draw the line? Is this an idea of making racing safer? Should we say that no one can use a clip-type master link on their chain because they are known to fail? I'm asking only to better understand the theory that this should be a required upgrade. Could the riders that crashed put less input into the bars and avoided the crash altogether, regardless of steering damper? Can't I just adjust my Ohlins damper all the way soft and have it about as effective or less then a stock?
