Anyone put a stick stabalizer on their DS 450 yet? I am attempting to mount a streamline one and I can't figure out a good way to do it. Anyone have any tips or pictures for mounting up a stick stabalizer on this thing?

The hydraulic fluid in the stabilizer when subject to heat can expand and be ineffective or hydraulic lock, so you’ll want to be careful not to put it by the exhaust manifold or behind the radiator unless it has an expansion chamber like the Precision Pro. I mounted our Precision down low behind the radiator on the frame but put some heat reflective tape on the mounting bracket and oil body and I built a wall between the radiator & stabilizer. Some have mounted them on the frame/upper stem with limited room. The combination of caster, camber, toe, and the dampening effect of the steering stabilizer and shocks I consider an art, I’m always trying to find new ways to dial them in. Good luck! :D
