Hey Coolinthewoods, I don't know the answer to your question. But, do you mind if I ask you why you are interested in a steering stabilizer?

I am wondering if it had something to do with the big tires on your 650?

I got front rims with more spacing than stock, and am wondering if that's causing my quad to wander at high speeds, or if it is the extra heavy tires I have. It drives great on flat, or on pavement, but with the quad going up and down on gravel trails, it also tugs my handlebars right and left. Does yours do this?

Maybe I ought to check the alignment. I did not lift it, and it used to go full speed without doing this.

I had 27 inch super swamper vampires on my 2000 Big Bear and my bike used to wonder on fire roads as well. However I was never able to go faster than 30 mph.

I have a 650 Prairie and my buddy has a 660 Grizzly, both are set up the same. His handle bars bolt back and forth really hard when climbing hills. was wondering if there is a steering stabelizer out there to help out.

I just sold my 660 Grizzly. Steering was one reason. Too high a center of gravity too, even after widening it with Douglas wheels. Definately not enough caster in the steering geometry. You could really feel it in sand, especially at speed. It's too bad the handling doesn't match the speed.
