I'm in a slight ordeal. I"m deciding between the PEP steering stabalizer or the ALba Graphics Kit. I'd like to know how the Team ALba Graphics look (with seat cover). And how much of a differnce is this Steering stabalizer? Which would you get if you had the Money?

Stabalizer or Graphic kit

 

I always put function over form. I ordered a stabilizer today, and have no graphics on my quad yet. The way I look at it, whatever quad is out front looks best, so anything that helps you get out front also makes your quad look better.

If you want to see what the Alba graphics look like, pick up this months Dirt Wheels Mag, they did a feature on the Alba DS

 

I'm on a limited budget myself, more power, better handeling are first in my book, that said I did clean up and chrome my stock front bumper (I think it looks better that the aftermarket stuff I've seen), to me the Six Pack Plus rack my riding buddy made for me is a nessesity, cold water for me and a gallon of gas for the quad. mybe later I'll order a Cascade seat cover, but really its whats more important to you

 

id have to go with the steering stabilizer my friend. i really dont care for the graphics kit any way and i put all of my money into performance before anything else.

 

THanks, i saw that, i'm just wonding if the graphic look cool in person. Mags can trick the eye. Stabalizer sounds good but i wonder if it would help in the TIGHT Rough stuff. I will be racing HARESCRAMBLE (district 23 this season

 

i have the graphics kit. heres pics

First of all, I agree with the others that you should go for something that will improve performance and handling. And YES! it would help in the tight woods because that is one of the main reasons I got mine. It has saved my wrists many times.
But I would highly recommend you get the Muscle steering stabilizer or another brand that has a rebuild kit. Otherwise you have a stabilizer that once it is shot you might as well throw it away. It does cost more but will be worth it in the long run. Besides it has 7 clickable adjustments VS 3 that can only be adjusted by unbolting. We found when trying to put the PEP on mine that we didn't like how it mounted so we returned it and I got the Muscle stabilizer. Best wishes whatever you choose.

 

Knutz,
I like your philosophy.

"The way I look at it, whatever quad is out front looks best, so anything that helps you get out front also makes your quad look better"

 

Where does one find the Muscle Stabilizer? I have searched the Internet and can't find it. Is that the manufactures name or just a brand name? How much are they?

 

I found mine in Dirt Wheels on one of the ads but can't remember which. It has been 6 months and I order from several different places. Wish I could be more help.
