Denton Steering Stablizer - Opinions?

[SteveWR450F]

I use a Scotts stablizer and was thinking of getting the same for my girlfriend 400 TRX. A Thumper talk person suggested that I check out this stabilizer instead:

Then I could use the extra money to upgrade her suspension. Sounds like a good idea but . . .

I am having a hard time getting info about the stablizer. How does it function? Such as on the Scotts it will try to return your wheel to center, high speed/ low speed valves, etc

Will the denton try to return to center? Anyone use one of these? Opinions?

Dont want to give my girlfriend a lemon . . . help.

Thanks

if i were you,id scrunge up the money and invest into a W.E.R or Precision Products stabelizer,a lot more but well worth it in the long run.As far as the Denton i dont know too much about it so i really cant help but thats just my .02:)

I've got a Denton that I really put to use for the first time on a 25 mile trail ride...I love it. My arms normally get to burning after the first few miles..but with the stabilizer on it kept the jerks of the bars down.

Basically it's an adjustable shock absorber that ties between the steering stem and the frame. When the wheels hit something, normally it causes the bars to jerk really bad. With the stabilizer cranked up, it keeps the wheels from jerking the bars. You don't notice the stabilizer being cranked on when you turn the bars though...there's 7 levels of firmness in it, I just leave mine all the way on.

I'm really happy with mine. It's a rebuildable one and I bought it used too...

the stick style dampners serve their purpose but once you try a scotts, precision, wer ect you will never go back to a stick style.
