    About 3000, I put it on for the SpyderFest trip. Took care of the bad vibration at highway speeds.

    It's a quality piece but have not had a chance to ride since I put it on 3 weeks ago. It's been to darn hot and once I get home from a 14 hr day in 117 degree heat all I want to do is have a beer. Hope to ride in the next few weeks if work and weather allow.

    I installed the BRP junk a few weeks ago, just to see if it would make a difference--cheap $35 test. I fully acknowledge I will have to upgrade it to Doc's blue roller in the future, but I like the buttery smoothness with a dampner.

    But the bike is being traded in, and I'll be ordering a new one for my 2018 for sure!

    I have about 900 miles on the Doc modified BRP roller damper. It made the problem go away. Now I have to upgrade to the new blue roller from Doc. Oh I also put on a smoothspyder vibration damper about about a year ago, before Doc came out with his product, and it did nothing. Waste of money.

    Well I have the Smoothspyder Belt Tensioner on my F3 LTD and it works great! No vibration at all. Where as before between 60 and 70 it was terrible. I shift and ride with the greatest of ease and with a smile as I go.

    Just saying..

    Why don't you remove it from your "old" RT Limited and put it on your new RT Limited?????????

    Thumbs down

    Just removed my BRP damper after only 1200 miles! The roller is loose, bearing I think. Called BRP and they said thank you for the call. I don't know why they won't fix it. It just needs a better pulley.
