A quality steering damper / stabilizer has become mandatory equipment on
many of today's modern sportbikes. As horsepower levels rise and steering angles drop, front
end stability can become a real safety concern. If you've never had the misfortune
of experiencing a tank-slapper, trust us when we say it's no fun. And if you
have... well... you already own a steering damper! Or darn well should!
Although some motorcycles are now coming with steering stabilizers as
stock equipment, most of these units are severely lacking, both in terms of
adjustability, and performance. They're generally better than nothing, but not
by a large margin. On some bikes, they can be set up so stiff that turn-in is
compromised and rider fatigue is aggravated. On others, they can be too soft
to prevent the headshake they were meant to address.
In contrast, the steering dampers offered in our store are exceptional
in terms of performance, adjustability, reliability, and appearance. Whether
you're replacing an OEM unit, adding on a new one to your motorcycle, these
are models you can count on.
