Results:

This was going to be me just having some fun but then I thought, seeing as Im
not getting any cat 1 or cat 3 wobbles now if I was to just stiffen the steering 
damper it should get rid of the few cat 2’s remaining, and all will be great. 
Well…

It did get rid of the cat 2’s and didn’t make the cat 1’s or 3’s appear but
generally the bike was awful. Where as it tends to sort itself out on those
odd occasions when the bike just steps out of line or you hit a stone and it 
shimmy’s, now it wouldn’t. 

The good news is I didn’t break it but for the first time in a long while I 
stopped at about 6mm as I didn’t want to find out what broke first.
