Andreb84 Posted April 17, 2016 Report Posted April 17, 2016 Ive read a few threads about them but none tell me what they actually do as far as improving the way your bike handles...noob question im pretty sure but wtf does it do and is it a worth while investment on a trail bike Quote
Shifty722 Posted April 17, 2016 Report Posted April 17, 2016 For trail riding you will notice a nice difference in arm fatigue. The damper keeps the bars pointed straight as you hit bumps, rocks, roots etc. It will take a bit of experimenting to get the damper dialed in so you can turn the bars, yet not get the bars ripped out of your hand when you hit rocks, roots and such. I have a Scotts mounted on a KTM quad that I love, you come up on shit and you brace for the hit that never happens because the damper took it...best money I spent for trail riding. 3 Quote
Andreb84 Posted April 17, 2016 Author Report Posted April 17, 2016 Lol im locked in...thanks for clearing that up alot of ppl talk about them but dont explain what they do Quote
Big Mike NY Posted April 17, 2016 Report Posted April 17, 2016 Good description above on how the perform I may pick 2 up 1 for my banshee and 1 for my 250R. Who makes them and what do they run $?? Quote
Shifty722 Posted April 17, 2016 Report Posted April 17, 2016 Prices vary, bar mounted can be as much as 5-600, stem mounted for about 250-300, but I am sure there are deals to found. The more adjustable the better IMHO. Quote
trickedcarbine Posted April 17, 2016 Report Posted April 17, 2016 Rebuild able is nice, but not so cheap that it needs constant rebuilding. 1 Quote
sheerider11 Posted April 18, 2016 Report Posted April 18, 2016 I've been running the stick style. The streamline 12 way rebuildable is nice. There like 125 or something like that. I always recommend people to run them. They take a lot of the beating that is required to keep the bike straight. Quote
Big Mike NY Posted April 18, 2016 Report Posted April 18, 2016 Sherider could you put up a link where one can find a stabilizer like yours, maybe post a pic of it on your banshee , thanks! Quote
Bennett131 Posted April 18, 2016 Report Posted April 18, 2016 Sherider could you put up a link where one can find a stabilizer like yours, maybe post a pic of it on your banshee , thanks! .. http://www.motosport.com/streamline-billetanium-11-way-steering-stabilizer IDK if you can find one cheaper than that or not, but that's what youre looking for.

Bennett131 Posted April 18, 2016 Report Posted April 18, 2016 Thanks dude for the link!!! .. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Streamline-Steering-Stabilizer-Yamaha-Banshee-350-BLACK-/380375979590?hash=item58902cd646:m:mtZQkg67GMW3LA2w-_6Xi0Q&vxp=mtr Here is one from ATV galaxy. This one has less adjustability, and its not rebuild able but for the price it might be ok for you. Just another option. Quote
sheerider11 Posted April 18, 2016 Report Posted April 18, 2016 Yeah those. I guess I was off on the prices. But yeah, I've used them a lot and have had no issues Quote
