I'll get her on and test it out.
Reduces bump stem and give the atv sharper steering.:eek:

That is the adjustable version, they actually make a cheaper model with the steering stops made like the factory steering bottom. This DOES work. It will take the "twitchyness" out of the steering, so you don't have to fight the steering as much.

Haybug,

did the cheaper bottom decrease the turning radius at all? I have been thinking of getting one myself.

No, it does not affect turning radius of the bike at all.

Cat,

how did the ride go? I am curious whether turning radius is improved or not? Some say yes some say no ;)

Thanks

I love it very well the turnning is sharper and its not as twitchy as before.The front end feels alot looser with plenty of control.
I run it with 1/4" toe in.Makes alot easier to spin it around in a tight spot.:D

Does the adjustable offer a tighter turning radius than the oem style? Thanks for the feedback

Last question I promise :) If you are running a stabilizer does additional turning radius exceed the stabilizers range ? ie.... Denton rebuildable.....

Thanks

I run it with 1/4" toe in. hey cat. do you do your aliegnment w/ the suspension compressed? or at normal ride height? i've started doing mine with it compressed (buddy stands on the front bumper). it's amazing how much toe out there is. i set up the front w/ 0 toe out/in with the front compressed. i think it improves bump steer if you setup your quad this way. jme

So, cmpressed you have zero toe? the manual calls for 6- 12 mm toe-in and thats what i did. DO have to admit that i feel that the turns could be tighter.

zero toe is what the big boys are running;)

So I"M guessing you have to have a steering stem from houser with no bottom plate welded to it for that one to work:confused:
