Just had a thought... I just saw the commercial for Honda Rincon I believe it was, with power steering, and was wondering if anyone makes this aftermarket or how hard and efficient it would be to adapt it to the 450r... ? Any ideas or thoughts?? :chinese:

Thought it would be pretty sweet in a XC application instead of a steering stabilizer.. I'd imagine it would be badass for mx too if it works like I think it would.. But again, not sure how it works on the Rincon... Like if theres a pump and pulley n **** like on a car.. If its a totally seperate piece of equipment, it shouldn't be too hard to adapt, right?:huh

I don't know how it works either. I do know it is electric not hydraulic.

450R's already steer pretty easy. I'd imagine a power steering unit would add some unwanted weight too...

Honda had a recall on their power steering saying that failures could cause serious injury or death.
