Why would you need one?

A!dam · 08-31-2009, 03:49 PM

Why not?

Sometimes it happens, that my bars are twisting, but only sometimes...

Because 10's are super twitchy and just a slight nudge moves things fast...really fast. I used to have some shots of mine, just a linear type from my bottom triple to a post on the main frame tube. For indoor motard its almost always on it's stiffest setting. I'll see if I can find the pics...

if not, you can tighten down all the bolts on your steering stem, it makes a cheap one that works ok.

So your using it to minimize or slow input rather than stop headshake.

I can understand that.

Anyone know if Ohlins makes one for a crf50 for a crf70 front end set up. Cause I have been curious about getting one on my new build cause 80+ MPH on 10" wheels is SCARY!!! Lol

fatcaaat · 09-02-2009, 07:34 PM

The reason to put a steering stablizer on is for two reasons..you like to do wheelies and such, or two, the bike is twitchy at speed. I purchased one and figured I'd need it for my ct70's since they both can hit 80. Well, I never used it. They are good to keep you from getting tank slappers.

Also, they can be used vertically, if you have pogo shocks to keep the rebound from bouncing. I have mine on ebay as we speak.

No, not a model specific. They make everything except the handlebar clamp. You have to weld the pivot arm to the frame as well.

If you are a knee drager you will like having one on your bike
parts unlimited has a universal stabilizer in 4 different sizes
short=280mm
standard=310mm
long=345mm
XL=375
they run about 130.00 and work great, you will need to fab a fork leg bracket
