They work just fine. Logo 600 3d fly bar version. Head much stiffer than the original o ring version.

I've heard others reporting strange oscillations with the orange dampeners but mine have been running perfect at 2300+ HS.

Here is a thread where I described my setup with the orange ones. I had to sand mine down so I could use the plastic spacer.

I'm starting to wonder if the oscillations occur when the dampeners are not sanded and they are too tight in the head block which might increase the stiffness. Just a thought...

People recommend the green ones now, don't they?

I've also had some problems with vibrations on lower HS on my L500 3D. Gonna install the green or maybe the yellow ones very soon as they arrive my local post office later today. Will see...
