If you ride off-road, one of the best upgrades for your bike is a steering stabilizer. Listed below are some of the key benefits for those not familiar with these products...
Key Benefits of a Steering Stabilizer:
1. Reduces rider fatigue and arm pump... instead of your arms being the steering stabilizer, the adjustable Stabilizer Unit helps control side to side movements of the handlebars, even at slower speeds through rough terrain
2. Eliminates that sudden "thrust-effect” of having the handlebars pulled from your hands after unknowingly hitting something unforeseen like rocks, tree roots, rain ruts or potholes.
3. Helps control the natural tendency of the “left to right” front end movements known as “head shake”
4. By helping stabilize the front end of your motorcycle, the rear of the motorcycle will track straighter allowing the rest of your suspension to work the way it was designed to.
5. Helps keep your motorcycle going straight in loose loamy / sandy sections, reduces head shake approaching turns, and smooths out those rough sections by preventing handlebar wrenching jolts.
For the 2019-2020 Honda CRF450L and 2021+ CRF450RL we use a Scotts Steering Stabilizer with their Sub Mount kit on our CRF450RL project bikes, and that's the one we offer in our on-line store (see link below). These kits include everything you need to install the mounting kit, handlebar mounts/risers, and the stabilizer unit. We even have one installed on our CRF450RL supermoto project bike because I like that extra piece-of-mind that the stabilizer will help eliminate potential head shake at speed, and even possibly eliminate issues from things like potholes, which we have a lot of here in Ohio.
