Same thing, well worth the money. On a Raptor, you can mount one under the left side of the gas tank and adjust it while you are riding. Check out this pic

Denton or Muscle are the same and both are rebuildable, about $150. Pep is cheaper and not rebuildable but still better than nothing.

I have the Denton. I love it. It acts like a shock absorber on your steering system. When you hit a root or a bump, it keeps the bars from wanting to jerk out of you hands. They do increase the stiffness of the steering, though. It takes more muscle to turn the bars. When you are just getting used to it your arms may tire more quickly.

The Denton I have is rebuildable and adjustable. There is no better way. You just adjust it to your liking and riding conditions. I got mine for 129.00
