Typically on the F3 you have to mount a tab to the side of the frame and then the other side attaches around the fork tube. This is all covered up by the fairing pieces.
Similar to this -

These bikes are made so we dont need a stabalizer. Depending on the rake of the forks, like gsxr they have a sick rake on the forks, so if you do a weelie the chances are good you will get head shake with out a stabalizer.
Now the F3 was desighned so you dont need it. If they were winning races with out it you dont need one andI think many people here will back me up on that your just adding pounds to your bike and after you put one on it will be a completly differ bike. Its not worth the troubleI think

I disagree, dampers are a great saftey measure to any bike. Anything in the can upset the frame of the bike and send it into a tank slapper so why not add one. You can things to a bike to help decrease the probability of up setting the frame but dampers are always a good addition to a bike. And as far as weight goes the one or two pound added won't make sh*t for difference in how the bike reacts. I just disagree with your logic sorry.

same with wearing a helmet but you still wear it just in case that one in a million ride you do happen to crash...... I'm not trying to be a dick either but dampers are a great investment on any sportbike.

I've gotten headshake...twice. And a guy on another forum gets headshake on his f1 race bike. It's not THAT uncommon.
