I'm sure everybody can relate to wobble under heavy accereration. First time usually scares the crap out of you. Was checking out some stabalizers, they seem that on paper it would really work, anybody have any experience with this? I was checking one out that you could adjust on the fly.

 

oh they definitely work
I've got a GPR (click) for my track bike and like it a lot
I personally like the rotary ones (GPR, Scotts/Ohlins, Pit-Bull, etc), they're easy to install/remove and seem to be a lot more crash worthy
the good thing about the scotts/ohlins (same thing, btw) is that they have high and low speed adjustments
the GPR has a **** with 8 or 10 adjustments in tension, no matter what the speed so you have to turn it down if you want to do parking lot speed maneuvers, its easy to do but for daily riding it could get annoying

GPR is a great company though, and does make getting repairs easy if needed

 

i got a hyper pro ...work great havent had any speed wobble

 

Woody, is that a lap timer next to the gauges ?

 

Sure looks like part of one.

 

yeah, XT Racing

 

Ever hear of Matris or Shindy?

 

Woble under acceleration could be front end lift. Not accusing you dear sir, but is it possible that you're muscle gripping the handlebar under hard acceleration?

 

Shindy makes the Daytona which is really a budget damper, not as good, probably not going to last as long and I'm sure its hard to adjust if it even has adjustments

I don't know anything about the Matris other than its been discontinued, either its not being made at anymore or its just not being imported to the US anymore (they're made in Italy), I'm not 100% sure what the story is on that but I have seen that you can't get them new anymore

there are a lot of budget dampers out there that will "do the job" imho most of the more expensive dampers are worth the money, but it really depends on how much you need it

as Jaybird said, most street riders wobble type problems can be fixed by proper riding skills more easily than a steering damper
but for hard riding a steering damper is really valuable, especially if you do any trackdays (most racing orgs and at least one trackday org requires a steering damper to get out on the track)
