Has anyone had any luck finding an adjustable aftermarket steering stabilizer for their RX? I would love to grab a GPR but that's just cause that's what I am used to.
I did a quick google search for one but didn't find anything that looked good. Looking for something that isnt too intrusive and would prefer to get a nearly identical damper, just adjustable and a little stronger.

Are you having issues with head shake?

26.5 mm body, 35 mm stroke. Or in inches, 1.050" body, 1.38" stroke.

You could probably get away with using the shortest stroke Ohlins damper, I think it's 63 mm. Part #SD-000. Next one up would be a 65 mm stroke damper, either should work though. Make sure if you go that route to get one that the mount clamp is the bolt on style, not machined into the body. You'll want to be able to loosen it and set it up in the middle of it's stroke or at least move it around so it doesn't bind.

I was hoping to find something that would have adjustable settings like a GPR brand stabilizer. Ill look into the Ohlins, I didn't know they made stabilizers as well.

And yes brutus I have had a few instances where I manage to work myself into a little shake and I am very cautious when it comes to that since I have had a bad wreck that would have been prevented had I had a stabilizer.



If ED from AF1 is around, I was wondering if you have tried or had any luck with using an ohlins steering damper from an aprilla on the EBR? I see the mounting options are similar I just don't know if they are similar enough.

GPR makes one for the 1125R... I wonder how much difference there is between the the two bikes. I'm gonna go with probably not possible, but who knows.
