I am not certain that the steering damper is necessary, and I am going to play around with the suspension a bit. It was installed as part of the package, which is easier for them than tuning the suspension. The rear shock is too soft for the weight of the rig, in my opinion, and needs up-grading. I have ordered a Progressive 435, and will take it from there. Handling is good and tight with the lightweight sidecar, but more steering input required cause of the stock RS bars. Sidecar handlebars would give a lot more leverage. With the low CG of the car, it handles much tighter than the Ural CT which has higher ground clearance and more body roll.
