peterlocal22 Posted October 31, 2007 Report Posted October 31, 2007 just talking w my buddy and he said he has the flex bars with anti vibe steering stem. I though this was alittle overkill, but what does everone else think? Quote
RoostRocket Posted November 1, 2007 Report Posted November 1, 2007 no it is not an overkill at all. Quote

Washburn Posted November 1, 2007 Report Posted November 1, 2007 If you have problems with arm pump and want to drasticly decrease it then its the rite choice. If arm pump is not an issue then yes its overkill. It will help the most if you have an updated front end and suspension system. Look into that before a stem and flexx bars if you dont have them already. I see you do have an updated front end. If you buy the bars and anti vibe stem you really should shell out the extra 350-400 dollars and get a steering stabilizer that adjusts on the fly like a Scotts steering Stabilizer. I would actualy get cheap bars and the stabilizer then get the fast flexx bars just make sure you get the same size bars. It is definatly worth it if you want the best. Quote

Washburn Posted November 1, 2007 Report Posted November 1, 2007 Hell yes. Now you could save up later and get the stem if you want a rise and a little anti vibe protection but the smart move for hard riding is the steering stabilizer. Believe me I ride hard and I know what works best! I might not be an expert on porting motors (mabey that will change) and Im no expert on the internals of suspension (Hopefully that will change too) But I do know what works and any other pro rider or hard rec rider will agree. Trust me. Im gonna talk to my guy today at about 10:00 10:30 anyway, I was looking at the Scotts witch is a killer and race proven stabilizer but the one he has on his bike has 8 adjustments on the fly and its only 350.00 for me. Ill ask what brand it is and Ill see if I can send you somewhere where they sell them for a good price. Cant say the Scotts is out of the question for me yet either though but Ill let you know. Quote
fasstbanshee Posted November 9, 2007 Report Posted November 9, 2007 the steering stablizer is a very good idea to bad its almost $500. if all your looking to do is raise your bars without going cheap and getting a regualar bar riser go with the steering stem. shit if you go up a hill climb and dont make it and goes into a roll guess whats going to happen to your stock stem http://www.precision-rp.com/stabilizer.cfm Quote
