Even without a steering damper, tank slappers shouldn't be a huge problem provided your aren't using a death grip on the bars. Head shakes normally work themselves out but the reason most turn so violent is the rider holding on tightly helps the headshake transfer through to the rest of the bike & boom, big tank slapper.
Loosen up on the bike and they'll correct themselves a plenty.
