I guess that is the question to be answered. Why would I want a device to bring my steering back to center on a turn? What are the advantages to this? I have ridden a Hopey quite a bit back in the day, and I understand why it helps to stop deflecting my steering off centre. I want to be able to freely steer back to centre without any assistance. Does the assistance back to centre cause understeer?
Thanks for clarifying that you haven't ridden a Hopey. It wasnt an attempt at a 'gotcha' moment at all. Just as I have not ridden the KIS, I cannot make any claims on how it works on the bike while riding. I think your beliefs about how previous dampers work have led to some of the confusion in the comments section. This isnt a criticism, just something to make note of for future comparisons.
