Does anyone know Of available steering dampers for the 2023 NC750x?

I want it in case I hit debri or animals or zombies in the road.

The NCs have a long wheelbase and reasonably conservative fork rake. I’m not saying a fork wobble so called tank slapper would never happen but chances are remote in my opinion.

As @dduelin says, long wheelbase, the rake and trail were chosen for stability… it’s not a bike that cries out for an aftermarket gubbins to restrain the steering. 27 degree rake, 110 mm trail. My CBR300R was 25.3 degrees rake and 98 mm trail. Also, the wheelbase was 150 mm (!) shorter. If I couldn’t get that thing twitchy on uneven surfaces, I’m not going to have a problem with an NC unless there is something broken or worn.

What if a dog or wild hog or a rock pops up suddenly? It could cause a wobble? The NC750 has a place to attach the steering damper. And then the time when you might have to go through a bunch of zombies.

Hit a dog, a wild hog, a rock, plow through a gaggle of zombies and the last thing I will worry about is a wobble and owned a ST1300 (look up Pan Weave).

Regarding a steering damper I think you should do what you think best.

It’s not going to hurt. I do things to my bike which might not have a ton of benefit. Find a used one on EBay and try it out. That said, these guys know what they’re talking about. It might reduce fatigue a tiny bit though.

Keep a good grip on the bars, those critters are very squishy, Also, stay off of the front brake until you've regained stability.
