doing some research i read up on Steering Stabilizer's, and basicly found out what they do, basicly a shock for ur handle bars.

seems like it would be a good investment but its a little pricey, for the ppl that have them on there bikes is it alot differnt on the streets? smoother ride? how about long rides?

i know its good for tankslappers but any more input would be helpful.

 

yeah i have ohlins stabilizer on my duc... its the best 16click.. soft to hard.. ohlins....is the best out there.. little pricy buts its bling bling, who's care about the price right? get rid of the tankslap which is very dangerous at high speed.. but don't get encourage to go faster..



there go around 5-6 bills

 

scotts high speed and low speed adjustments.. plus less likely to get damaged in a crash. I have an ohlins tho.

 

hey you again...

scott brand is ok...ugly design though..

like i said best is ohlins...

 

i have a ohlins on my 7649s its fcking awsweet

if you take performance advice from someone that looks towards it as a cosmetic ornament for their bike, youre heading in the wrong direction. and just so you know, ohlins helped manufacture and design the scotts damper.

ohlins and scotts are made by the same company so i wouldn't say one is better then the other. but just like scarey said, in a crash the scotts would hold up better then the ohlins.

 

Get your suspension set correctly first. A steering damper should not be used to mask handling problems.

 

Dampers are a good investment. Ive used both an ohlins and a hyperpro and could not tell a difference between the two. I think most of the brands out there work well.

 

arent the piston type dampers (ohlins) more prone to break under hard pressure?

 

yea it is. thats why some people prefer the rotory type dampers over the pistons

 

I like mine, I have noticed a difference after having it for a while, soaks up some of those nasty bumps, also helps for when that front wheel gets a little light and comes back in contact with the ground ( a'la the wheelie hump at buttonwillow )

 

A bit off topic - Remember to give your brakes a light squeeze after a big head-shake. Those brake pads won't be in touch with the rotor anymore.

Good advice. Nor should they be used to compensate for rider problems. Know how to ride out of slap before you start band-aid'ing it.

And he means after it's completely over.... you don't want to go grabbing the brakes in the middle of wobble.

 

Thanks for clarifying my point.
