Had mine on almost a year , don't think I could ride with out it now .
( Denton fully adjustable and re-buildable steering stabilizer ) just point and go under any conditions and speed.

I have a Graydon Proline steering damper. It is fully adjustable and rebuildable (like alot of them on the market), and it works awesome. Once you ride with a steering stabilizer you never go back.... ever!!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Totally agree with Alaska. Every quad should have one no matter how or where you ride. Every quad I've owned gets one ASAP.

I didn't believe that they actually worked.........so I turned mine completely off today and hauled azz down the road..................I got up to about 60 and it started goin all over the road!!.......LoL.........cause it has soooooooooo much oversteer with the front being so wide............
I turned it back up and it drove like a dream.........really worth the money......

edit: I have a denton......

any dealer will have them that are in the mag's or online... i have a 5 way adjustable.. name slips my mind.. dont know if its rebuildable but i dont notice it working... i mean its probably doing something but i think it either needs a rebuild or a replace.... any idea's where to get rebuild kits for them? and are there thicker oils?? maybee to adjust them even farther??
