Do steering stabilzers really make that big of a differnce in steering?

i don't find they make that much of a diff. in the accual steering, but they reduce bump steer and arm pump a lot. you do need to adjust them properly though. too soft=no effect, too hard=arm pump. i think they are definately worth the money.

Yes they do. I am really happy with mine and it would be hard to ride without one.

They really shine when you are up to speed in rough stuff. You know those bumps and hits that jar the handlebars side to side? They remove most of it.

around....150. I always run mine all the way stiff. The first 1-2 times u ride like that you get arm pump a little bit. But after that, u can hit stuff a gear hgher and not have any jerk.

When i talked to Houser about it, he said u get only like....1/8 inch of movement. I dont know if thats worth the money or not. U get 1/8 of flex out of a set of tapers, and they are cheaper!

The wrist rester is 220 bucks and you dont get much travel out of it. You could get a stabilizer for 50 bucks cheaper and have 10 times better results.

Wristresters i have never used but heard they ain't worth the price, best bet would be steering stabilizer prolly

You could get the Wrist Rester and the Stabilizer. I bet you would notice a big difference there.

Wheres the cheapest place to get a steering stabilizer? What are the best ones? I think I could really use one of these. Ive broken my right wrist, then I sprained it a month ago, took about 2 weeks to get better, then sprained my left wrist after my right one just healed:mad: Do steering stabilizers take away alot of the shock you get in ur wrists?

Rocky Mountain now sells the GPR and I was checking them out. If you have a big wallet I think that would be the way to go.

It mounts on the top of the Stem and you can adjust on the Fly.

Nice, I remember seeing one of those on Doug Eichners quad in ATVsport. How does it work, is there some sort of dampning system on it?

Get a denton rebildable and adjustable there the best. price aint bad either
