I've got a denton adjustable, does work with any shocks, it clamps on your steering stem and helps soak up some of the vibration, makes a difference when you hit something that jerks the handlebars, don't hurt half as bad. Can't tell alot of difference until you ride with out one, then you will really miss it. Money well spent in my opinion.

get GPR and that mount on the handle bar clamp area. It got a lifetime warranty on it. Free service.... Where are you going to find that at?

A steering stabilizer is an excellent addition for the Raptor.....possibly the best bolt on. The beforementioned recommendations will work fine. I do not recommend a PEP...which I have....I have dropped the low-down on this setup before if anyone wants too research for the details.

My Raptor gets real squirly at high speeds, will a steering stabilizer help this? There is usually some denton stabilizers on ebay for like $180.

great bolt on...can't live without it anymore...the GPR is the way to go if you want to spend big bucks(you get what you pay for)....you should be able to pick up a brand new stabalizer starting around $165

I don't know where you all have been buying steering stabilizers at but they only run like $130-140. I got lucky and bought one from a friend that was used for one ride for $40. Best deal yet! Well worth the money in my opinion, I mostly ride trails and it's not near as violent when hitting tree roots and obstacles in the way.

Ok, but does anyone know if it will correct high-speed twichyness? Or make the wheels tougher to turn, so They will point straight on a drag strip?
