I removed my damper, I just grew some shoulders and hang on to it . . .
I have never had any head shake or wobbles from landing wheelies etc . . . ever.
I found the damper caused too much drag in the steering and the bike weaved a bit in a straight line.
Removing it improved the handling/steering a lot.

Kiwi you probably had a hitch, grab, slight damage in the stock stick unit; they are cheaper to make but susceptible elements & damage as stick is exposed. Consider an upgrade don't write it off. I damaged a stick one & it was frozen at above 15mph; took off & almost payed with life.

Ok dumb newbie question: wth caused that on the street bikes?! I get that the racers are at crazy speeds but what causes a bike on the road to do it?

You don't have to be going that fast. If you are doing a power wheelie at 80 mph and the front end comes down with the wheel off straight ahead it can initiate a tank slapper.

At that point you better either hope the dampener works or you gun it and get the wheel back up and center it up.
