Get GPR

adjust on the fly, life time warranty, free repair if needed. Just sent to them and they fix it free and you will get it back in no time.

Most of the desert racers use it. I really like mine alot, wouldn't trade at all....

I have the PEP one on my Banshee and I do alot of MX and Trail Riding and it really helps you and your Bikes Steering out.

I'm using the Denton (actually made by Shindy - street bike stuff) rebuildable unit. Abot $150-160. It works well and is adjustable (7-settings). No probs - about 8 months old. The biggest improvement seems to be controlling the "darting" from side to side when going fast in sand. I'm using wider front rims (2" off-set)with stock a-arms and I think that makes it somewhat twitchy. The stabilizer helps a lot. Allows a lighter grip on the bars too and significantly prevents that "wrist snap" if ya tag a rock or rut..

Bang-for-the-buck = high.

raptor trying to rip yer thumbs off? i had the same problem.
some of those are darned expensive, tho. i had a budget, so i got a PEP. it was about 140? kinda funky to install, but it works great! no more arm pump and it goes where its pointed. helps in deep whoops too. shop around. i think it was ATV sport mag that did a comparo a few months back.
[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] forgot to mention, it mounts down low on the drivers side {lh side to you} to the engine case and clamps around the steering stem just above the oil tank, street bike style. Some of the pricier ones mount atop the steering stem and may not be compatible with your trip computer.

Do the Dentons mount top or bottom? Was considering a stabilizer from Denton racing, but would rather have them mount down low.

Thanks

They are worth every penny.....you won't believe the difference. Research my previous posting concerning the PEP stabilizer on the Raptor.....it's a joke!!!! Get the Denton if you are on a budget!!!
