Not a hack but when I used to ride Bullitts a couple of them had the Larry Vs Harry version. Made a massive difference!

They never really needed a damper, every time i've ever seen someone elses bullitt and they've said they have 'speed wobble' or it rides nervously has been because either
1) assembled wrong from new and no one ever fixed it
2) Loose or wear in one of the headsets, wear in the ball joint, bent forks and/or combo of 1).Same for many other long john style bikes with rod steering, usually worn, loose or setup wrong. THOUGH they can have speed wobble due to load and frame flex, but its almost never this, usually the above.

Anybody hacked a motorcycle steering damper on a long-john?
Finished the full rebuild / overhaul on the stainless steel bargain-cargo, but has awful front wheel wobble above ~20km/h
