Yes, I have... 2-up, actually... what i found out is what was clear to begin with... it's not the ideal bike for sand to begin with... and a steering damper is actually counter productive in sand!

I'll let the techniques alone then... although the right technique DOES make it easier... even on a GS!

go to ADVrider.com a lot of guys are putting the Scotts Steering Stabilizer on their bikes. You can turn it off right at the steering stem when you dont need it.
