Common guys, i know a lot of you have them. Give me your honest opionions on them. How do your's work, how do they mount. pics, whatever you can give me. I'll be ordering one this week and as of right now i'm not sure which one to get.

I like how the PEP mounts on the motor mount, but i hear that it has a "Dead" spot. i've never used one so i don't know, do you guys?

My friend has a denton non rebuildable, and it's really easy to adjust. but is there any downfalls to it.

I don't want to spend 300 dolors on a scott or the GPR stabalizer. I'm looking for the ones like the denton, pep, speed, ect.

Thanx in advance guys!!:)

I have a muscle stablizer. All billet alum. Rebuildable and 7- way adjustable. Works fine. I bought it from C&D Racing. Number at top of page.
I would also look at the Denton rebuildable. 7 way adjust.

GBR or Scotts Stablizer all the way, adjust while you ride and works 10 times better than any other on the market

get the denton rebuildable without a doubt. The PEP is close to the headpipe and i heard it fades quick and that it works better turning in one direction then the other.

I just got a Gibson. I had a PEP and it did work better turning one direction than the other and it had a spot right at the end of the travel that it didn't do anything. The Gibson is billet, rebuildable and mounts like the Denton.

i'm pretty sure the denton and mr muscle stabilizers are the same product with different names. i could be wrong though

The scott and GPR would be awsome but i don't have the money.

what does the gibson one look like. I'm kind of leading towards the denton rebuildable and away from the PEP.

Do any of you guys have pics??????????????????

it bolts ur to yer steering stem and on to your frame and reduces bumpsteer by taking it up its like a shock absorber so you dont get as tiresd as quick i like the scottys how it mounts low and it is out of the way i am saving up for that thing.......................;)

Has anyone had to build their Denton rebuildables yet?

I have had the Denton Non-rebuildable installed on my 502 for over two years (works awesome) but have to buy another cause of the external rubber bushings going bad. Does anyone know if I can buy the rubber bushing to keep me from buying another?

I found a ton of pics on here doing searches, but I can tell you the key is to slide the front clamp down the body of the stabilizer a little. I couldn't get mine mounted, then I remembered reading that and it was a snap after that.I mounted mine "across" the stem and flipped the front clamp - hard to explain without a pic though.

I got some pics and i got it mounted up. Its differents then the directions, is that a big deal? Heres the front mount

The stem mount

05-25-2003, 07:29 AM
One last question. When you turn all the way right the mount on the stem just touches the black tube that goes back into the oil tank. Is this going to cause any problems cause i dont think it would be good if that hose got knocked off. Thanks again

Last thing.:p Any of you guys notice the mounts slipping on the stem or on the frame or anywhere. When i first put it on it would slip on the stem but then i really cranked it down now. Hopefully its good now but i havent rode on it yet. Hopefully its as good as everyone says but have any of yours slipped. also talk abt a tight fit in there with remote rezzies, scoops, and the stabilizer:eek:
