Scotts or GPR

[sredish]

I'm thinking about upgrading my stabilizer from the Denton style to a nice bar mounted. I've read a little about both and searched some but haven't come up with much. I did read that Duece likes his Scott's.

 

Anyone have any opinions on the comparison of these two? Theres a GPR on ebay for around 2 bills, i'm sure it will go up a little, but if anywhere around that is a decent deal, then i might try that, or I just might buy a new one and be done with it.

 

Thanks for the inputs.

I've always wondered what the difference was between the two types myself. You're not happy with the Denton stabilizer? Let me know if you wanna get rid of it!

I know of someone who had the denton set-up on a z-400. Not sure of the whole story, but he liked it at first, and he ended up trashing it. Said it was junk. he now runs scotts. I can hook u up with him. he is a deal for them now. he is also a tcs dealer.

Putting the Denton Stabilizer in the same sentence as the Scotts Damper, is laughable, there is just no comparison...

[Banshee17Racing]

What's the price difference between the Denton and Scotts? I'm guessing you recommend te Scotts?

[sredish]

So no info on the differences huh? I'm thinking the Scotts might be the unit of choice, by my gut anyway....

Hey man...hit up Blue Deuce, he runs a scotts stabalizer & I've never heard any complaints from him about it, you may shoot him a PM. In fact, here's a couple posts with him talking a bit about it--->

Look into the "W.E.R" brand too....

To whom it may concern

 

I just ordered a GPR. I went with them because of the lifetime warranty, free annual service, and they also upgraded internal circuitry to stainless for me because of the racing. I also like the fact that the new version fits under the bar as opposed to the big eyesore above the bars, for a much cleaner look and it'll raise my bars another 3/4", in addition to the +1 stem, which I think will help even more. It also has no clicks, it's infinitely adjustable and can be "tuned" by GPR at no charge for personal preferences should you need more or less overall dampening.

 

As does the Scotts, it has high speed and low speed dampening, but it's adjustable on the GPR by only one knob, where as the high speed on the Scotts has two know adjustments. This may be good or bad, I don't know, but I feel that only one thing to turn will be less confusion.

 

The GPR is not often used by recreational ATV riders because it require the use of an aftermarket anti-vibe stem only, can't use with stock ATV stem. The older version could, but it's discontinued.

 

Well there's my lowdown. I'll let you all know how it works out.

Nice, congrats.

 

Now where are the pictures of your swinger & clutch cover we have all been waiting for?

 

Plus you do realize that Christmas is this Friday don't you? For all the $$ you have spent on your machine recently you had better have some awesome gifts for your wife and son...

Well, didn't you ask all the right questions.

 

First, the GPR won't work with the LSR stem. For some reason LSR makes the raptor and banshee stems a hair narrower than every other one known to man....

 

Second, I just got my two items back and they both look like shit. The powder didn't look very hard to me, so I tapped it lightly with a wrench, and whaddyaknow, the goddamned shit chipped out.

 

So, now I have two parts that look like shit, smell like shit, so hmmm, they must be shit and the GPR I was all excited about ain't gonna work either. This just all happened in the last 5 minutes. I'm f'ed all the way around.

 

Oh, and merry christmas.

[DUNEDEMON]

Ouch sorry man..........didn't mean to piss in your Cherios.

Oh, and merry christmas.

Right back at ya'

GPR is going to have a new stabilizer out by the end of January that will mount down by the radiator out of sight and have a small remote adjuster on the handlebars you can quickly adjust with your left thumb. i'll probably wait to get that one and just keep using my denton style till then.

Damn man...shitty deal(s). Didn't know that shit about the LSR stems,...interesting. I'm not sure who you had doing your powdercoating, but I'd sure as hell be in touch with them about it...if they have any sort of reputable business, they will want to make it right. That's just sucks dude.

 

 

 

Ba Humbug!

Thats how the WER is setup. Top XC Pro's are running the WER damper.

 

And I feel your pain with the stupid LSR steering stem. I bought a trail tech barclamp\speedo-holder\headlight setup and it wouldnt mount on my LSR stem. I had to rig it up to mount it.

 

My handle bars are mounted super duper high up, I like it alot. Its a little weird at first, but its great when your standing up on the feetpegs.
