How would a dampener help things out? Maybe I don't understand what the dampener is for, but from what I know it doesn't do anything but slow down the steering to help prevent tank slappers.

To the OP, you don't need to put any weight on your wrist, are you riding sitting in an upright position or are you a noob that is always hunched down over the tank even when doing a steady 55mph?

When on the backroads or doing a full throttle run, my elbows are tucked damn near touching my knees, when on a highway for the most part I'm sitting straight up with my left hand on my hip and my right hand on the throttle.
