Bump steer is when you hit something and the bars tend to "whip" out of your hands.

Steering stabilizers (or dampers, whichever) mount at the steering stem and to one of the frame rails, unless it's a PEP, which mounts at the engine mount. You basically don't feel the bump steer anymore depending on what setting you have the damper at. I definitely recommend one, you will love the difference it makes. :cool:

I agree with you 100%. If you decide to get a dampner, I would choose the Denton over the PEP. Simply because you have 7 adjustments with the Denton, as to where the PEP has 3;)

feels the same untill you get on a bike that doesn't have one, the dampners make a world of difference well worth the money.

They do make a world of difference, but my denton (a few years back) was always too tight causing my arms to cramp faster.

The GPR stabilizer stopped that :D
