OK, I've narrowed down my choices to the Ozzie made Powerbond (reasonably priced), and the U.S. made Fluidampr (exorbitantly priced at 2X the cost of the Powerbond, but still less than the "top of the line" ATI Super Dampers).
I do not need the >6500 rpm harmonics damping ability of the ATI, since I will NEVER rev this engine even close to that again (the rev limiter is set to 5900 rpm as of now).
The Fluidampr has the advantages of damping at ALL rev ranges, and it will not wear out since there are NO polymer/rubber compounds used for damping, but I wonder if it warrants/justifies it's price for MY use.
I DO like that it is made here though.
Does ANYONE have ANY experiences with these two harmonic balancers/dampers??
