im looking to get a steering stabilizer for my bike. ive never dealt with them before so i dont know anything about them i just need to know if ist a good idea how much and how hard to install. much appreciated. thank you.

 

Daytona or shindy make good ones at a fair price, Around $200.00, Easy to install and 7 way adjustable

 

I have a daytona piston style and it works good. install in about 20 mins for minor adjustments difficulty about a 1 or 2. The body lays across the upper fairing stay and clangs on bumps but a few wraps of electrical tape on the fairing stay fixes that. rotary style dampers are marginally better but 2.5 times the price. dampers are very important IMO and even more important on pre-98 900's.

 

thank you very much. ill have to look into that.

 

***edit**** My 93 fireblade has a stabilizer but I don't think it works.

Bike seems to run just fine without one and I've had the front end up in the air by accident by giving too much gas when using the clutch....but no problems so far.

I think our bikes are fine without them, in fact none of my bikes has ever had one.

 

If yoo can pull out 400 bones ,,, the SCOTTS is the goods...

 

400 maybe without a mounting kit, more like 450, and for that kinda money you can get a complete 929/954 front end, and then you'd have the calmer offset, inverted tubes, 330mm discs, a 17" wheel and get enough from selling the 900 front end to buy a daytona
the difference between a piston and a rotary is like the difference between a t-bone and a porterhouse to a starving bum.

 

ill say it again Scotts is the goods...but im sure yer sell it, pwnit , recreate the bike scheem will work too...peeece...oh yeah ill take the porterhouse you can be the starvin bum with the900 with a bunch of missmatched parts::CON icon smiley face with front end that didnt work out that great::geeesh

 

I have to ride a 929 and a 954 someday.


And for the record, I love a good steak

 

when i got my 929 i had no idea what i was missing....Fuel injection ripps bud...but i still love the old girl, but damn the new stuff rocks(well a2001).
