Best Stabilizer

What Steering Damper do you like? Thinking of getting one and needed opinions.

i like the clean design of the rtt. i have run the ohlins and wer. if the rtt breaks you gotta send it out though...

Scott's on my XC and WER on my YZ, I honestly can't say that I prefer one over the other. They both do what they are supposed to. I don't think that I have ever adjusted my Scott's on the fly since dialing it in.

I've had a WER, a GPR and now a scotts and the scotts is the best so far. I've heard mixed things from the RRT so I'm a bit leery,, I'm not going to judge that one till I see one in action.. The fastway is very interesting and the ohlins is nice too.. and any is better than none..

I've used the same Scotts damper since '01. The odd oil change has been the only service to it. What I really like about it is the ability to turn off the low speed damping and set the high speed for abrupt hits.
The Honda unit on my CRF works pretty good and with some tweaking/revalving probably very good, but not a Scotts.

Lots of complaints on the RTT (used to be one of our race series sponsors).

Blown seals, as I recall.

I've had a Scotts on the GG for over four years. Works fine. I haven't had it serviced yet.

Been running the RTT for 9 months. Had it rebuilt cause I bought it used on here. I have had zero issues so far. I added the remote switch and it is the bees knees. And very clean looking....

Since I have only ever used the scotts I cannot vote but the scotts wrks well

My opinion of the Motosportz is like this.

As stated in another thread the Scotts and Fastway are a lot more sophisticated. Dave nailed my opinion exactly.

 

[Edman]

Looks like Scotts is the most popular brand.

 

[Edman]

Do you have to bend up cross bar with Scotts over the bar set-up. Trying to avoid sub mount due to not wanting to raise bars.

 

[Edman]

GMP, is yours sub mount or over bars mount. I see you have Flex Bars and I may go that route someday.
How about a pic!

Top mount, I hate submounts and tall bars, like to get up over the front and read my own numberplate! I have long arms though so its comfy for me.

Flexxbars, 10 deg enduro bend with damper crossbars. Scotts damper on adjustable Fastway mount, because I wasn't sure which bar position I would like. I find I like the rear position on the '12, front position on the older bikes. Plus, rear position makes PFP and comp access much easier. I added two 1mm stainless shim washers under each bar mount in addition to the stock aluminum spacer to get my PFP adjusting tool on easy. The tower is my own design(strong) as discussed elsewhere and Scotts arm +10mm longer. The steel dust seal/cup is from the BRP tower and I added an oring under it for a good seal on the edge of the steering neck.

I love the setup. The '12 bike is VERY stable, and I find that the damper has an easy job. I run it full out on low speed which makes the high speed most effective, perfect if needed. Can't do that with a GPR or MotoSportz.

Looks very clean.
Thanks
