Due to an old wirst injury I'm having some problems when hitting ruts and logs and such that rapidly jerk the steering around. Does anyone make a steering damper/stabilizer that will work on a Rancher?

Thanks,

Richard B.

You might try asking a dealer who sells the PEP damper if they make a model for your ride. You might also consider dumping the steel bars & running some alloy bars which will give you more flex and less shock to the wrists & upper body.

Hot Shoe,

Thanks for the advice. I'll look into both of your suggestions. Anything has got to be better than using that D**M brace again.

Rich.
