Chinese steering stabilizer install
I bought this Chinese steering stabilizer off ebay awhile ago for 50 dollars. I couldn't afford to spend the money on a high end stabilizer and since I recently acquired a Bridgeport manual mill, I decided to save money and make my own mounts. I've gone on a few rides so far, and it works great. It got rid of the headshake that nearly killed me a couple times. Bike is much more stable. As you can see from the pics, I made a fuel tank mount, a handlebar mount, and modified a handlebar clamp I got from a friend. I mounted it to the bike using rubber and nylon washers to eliminate vibration. Also bought some nice stainless hardware from Mcmaster Carr. Now I'm waiting on some spray paint to finish the mounts. I made sure that there is extra travel left in the stabilizer from lock to lock and that the spherical bushings are not at extreme angles. I read about a guy who improperly mounted his and it locked up from binding.

They're usually mounted via 1 mount on the tank bracket (like his) and then another mount on the top tree. I haven't ever seen one on a clip-on before, but it's the same concept.
Then you can have a mount from the fairing stay bracket on the frame with the damper connected to a mount that is on the lower triple tree.
And I've also see them on the side of the frame connected to the triple tree (like old SRAD gixxers)
