Touring steering stabilizer
#13
You can mount one to the underside of the lower tripple tree but you need to have the air dam removed. The other end can be bolted onto the crash bar.
You need to be careful because you can dent the fender depending on how it is mounted.
There is a guy on the V-twin forum that has one installed. I am going to buy one off of Ebay and fab it. I do believe that you need to drill and tap the lower tripple tree to mount it though.

There is one more to add to the list. This fellow is based out of Bend, OR and I just installed his system (;ess than $200). Very well made.

He said STEERING stabilizer not rear stabilizer.
and to answer your question there is only one stabilizer out that I am aware of that actually will help with steering and Alloy Art makes a front stabilizer
http://www.alloyart.com/products/trilink.html
this is said to help improve front end high speed handling.

Are you sure that is what you really need? All of the swingarm kits mentioned do have a positive effect on handling and stability.

I have the missing link and it does what it is suppose to do. Curves are not problem at all now. However, when my Ultra is loaded the front feels loose. I have had the steering check tq. to spec. and added new oil. all helped but did not resolve the issue. It is most noticeable at low speeds loaded on bumps or coming into a motel with a dip.
If you have a dresser just shake the bars quickly and look at the front wheel wiggle. I have checked many and each one did it.
He is looking for a fork brace.
I think that is what he is talking about.
I have my design finished. Can't do much in the shop at 30 or 20 degrees.

Oh Good Grief People! He's not looking for a Rear Stabilizer, a front engine mount stabilizer or anything other than what the Crotch Rockets call a steering Damper which lessens the amount of Handle Bar wiggle, or uncontrollable oscillations at higher speeds.
We usually don't exhibit this until a large vehicle passes us or vice versa or there's a wicked cross wind!
You'll usually find one side mounted to the frame and the other to the steering yoke or trees.
I know ya'll where trying one thing...but only a few of you really hit it! I guess those of us who have riding crotch rockets in the past know of this.
Honestly...I dont' know of anyone who makes this for us. But ya know...it' shouldn't be too hard to fashion one. anyone up for it? I dont' have My machine shop set up yet!
anyone???
