Steering stabalizers?

MY-BLUE-BEAST · Dec 25, 2011

I ride in some pretty rough slow conditions. Anyone here know if steering stabalizers are woth the money, or are they just a placebo effect? any info would be great, thanks

Have a GPR on my 250 and a Scotts on my 450, Love them for sure. Have saved me and sure jerking from smack downs on many occasions. so they are a plus IMO. :prof:

They work best when under your own power and not being towed though :lol:

I have a Scott's and so does my son.

Cool, I can get a discount on one from my work so ill just do that later, after I get everything else my bike needs for sure.

Oh yeah, where do you work?

Cycle Hutt. I can get 15-20% discount prices on parts rather than retail... Which a good chunk of change. Depending on the item.

helps keep the bars from jerking or twisting out of your hands when hitting a rut or rock, Ive got both GPR and Scott, both work well.

Suspension work for your size and steering stabilizer are the two most important upgrades to your bike in my humble opinion.

im looking at the stabalizers, I don't know if they would work for my bike. I have the solid bar clamps, and these look like they need new bar clamps to mount it. I'll have to look into it some more.

They might, but again worth it especially in rocky, sandy or rough conditions.

there is one that is made for my era of bike. It doesnt require any new bar clamps, but it does sit right in the middle of the bars, and thats where my vapor sits, and i need that unless i want another $150 speeding ticket :smirk:

. well i will have to see if i can put my vapor anywhere else, or just not get a stabalizer. Ill figure it out.

I have the Scott's and it is great. Easy to adjust while riding too.

MY-BLUE-BEAST · Dec 28, 2011

I think im going to go with the Scott, they look good and have really good reviews.

So what did you get? I run GPR's on all my scooters. I like the big adjuster knob and numbers so it is easy to adjust when transitioning from one off-road section to the next.
