You can pick them up used all day on ebay for $70-$90 but I'm sure people have them laying around, too. Not sure if they are different through the years. I know they are different outwardly but not sure about the stroke length and stuff. I think they are the same.
On my KTM, it took out just that right amount of nervous headshake, like when you let off the gas. Yeah, I know they were intended for cornering but I corner like a pig dog so I can't tell.
They aren't $600 either.

Race Tech makes a kit for it.
Though I've never seen one, I'd imagine the main advantage of the Gold Valve is they have no bleed in the piston. I epoxied mine closed and run a higher viscosity fluid. It makes it feel like a Scotts style without the heavy steering feeling when you turn your bars in the air.
If your going to run one just test it completely standard first, even though everyone says they do nothing in stock trim, how would you know if its any better if you don't try it standard. When my set up is done I'm going to test the smaller damper and the new one back to back in stock trim, then test again with them filled with thicker oil and go from there to see which one I like.
Run the Honda DAMPER if ya like, but I think it's silly. (It's a damper cause its filled with fluid kzizok)
