One solution in the M&P catalogue is a replica Kawasaki one for about £40, (if you can fit with a few clamps and bolts.)
IF you can find somewhere to hang it and you don't mind what it looks like, a Volkswagen Beetle 1973 version onwards steering damper is about £30 brand new. and a couple of racing car track rod ends from the Demon Tweeke catalogue are about £7 each. M&P do a wide range of front fork mountings for steering dampers for a few quid each.
Be advised these dampers are NOT adjustable and make the steering VERY heavy at a standstill.
