HIMMEY,
that steering stem is for a Predator, not a DS 650.

Diamond G Racing makes an anti-vibe steering stem for the DS 650, but it uses the narrow width handlebar clamp (about 2 3/4" side to side), and a GPR steering stabilizer needs the wider (about 4" side to side) handlebar clamp used on most other aftermarket steering stems.

Man! Getting any kind of parts for the DS SUCKS!!
No one wants to make any parts for them anymore. You can get 15 frigging different anything for any other quad but not Bombardier??
And if there WAS a company, they are out of business now and you are screwed.
I have been looking for parts for 3 years now and they come and they go.
I just got 5 emails saying "sorry we don't make ANYTHING for that model ."
Then you go to the dealer and he doesn't have anything either. Then he orders it from the factory and it's on backorder until who know when.
Sorry, just a little frustrating sometimes.

I second the recommendation for the Flexx bars, much better than an anti-vibe stem for arm pump.

I manufacture parts for several companies and Diamond G is one of them. We are nearly complete with the anti-vibe stem for the DS650. I really went into this blind since I do not own a DS so I'm not sure exactly what features you guys want. Tell me what you want, from types of bars you want to put on your stems to stabilizer mounts.

Mudnuri...tell me what you need. We make bumpers, tie-rods, frames...etc. There is a good possiblity we can make the parts you need.

I think the DS is going to need either a +1 or +2 steering stem in order to have the standard (Honda) width anti-vibe handlebar mounts not hit the gas tank plastic when the handlebars are turned. 1 1/8" bar mounts would be nice, that can be used in conjunction with a GPR or Scotts steering stabilizer. Thanks.

Thanks KTM, I went ahead and bought factory subframe, steering stem, and tie-rods. I need a front bumper as mine is a bit mangled. It is off now and I am headed into town this afternoon to see if the welder there can fix me up. If not, where can I see yours?
My new season starts first week of Sept. I will be ready.
Thanks also to BillDS650 for the Precision Racing steering stabilizer.
GO FASTER

I have the graydon proline adj steering stabalizers on both of my DS650s.

They are awesome, dont have to worry as much about hands getting ripped off of the bars.

They really work well.
