Just bit the bullet and bought the ohlins kit for my 04... Ohlins is selling what they have left in stock on ebay for 350 bucks. Pretty sure retail was like 675 bucks or something absurd like that. Search "zx10 steering damper" on ebay.
Installed today and went for my first ride. I would highly recommend this kit. Getting on the throttle real hard leaned over is not sketchy at all anymore when the front wheel comes off the ground. The wheel confidently sets down and doesn't skitz out at all. If you are thinking about buying one of these and agonizing over dropping the loot, just do it. It is very needed on this bike. Greatly inspires confidence and makes riding more fun.
