It looks Good. Ask Rico to post a Picture. He has that same Stabilizer on his. It looks about the same Mounting as his so it should be Good.

Yup looks just about like this 1.....

i think the only diff is I keep my allen head screws to the outside, because it was such a pain to get it adjusted with them inside.

As long as it doesn't get in a bind when you turn the bars,,it takes alot of trial and error to get them things mounted correctly. When you move the bars all the way to the side it should still be able to wobble up and down I guess you could say..:huh

Now put it on the 7th setting,,the stiffest setting and go ride for a few hours,,you'll have arms like popeye..:D

I think u may have it a mounted a little too high on the bar. Move it down lower so u can mount the reservoir right above it if get some kewl shocks someday. The bottom of the sticker should be just about in the middle of the clamp.

When you hit a bump that jerks your handlebars. It absorbs the bumpsteer.

Keeps your bars straight whenn hitting bumps.

Ok i see, but why the different settings?

the easiest way to explain it

the lowest setting#1 will give you less resistance and allow for easier steering

the highest setting is for the most resistance and will work best at higher speeds
