Homemade Touring Stabilizer *PICTURES*

Well, I'm gonna catch all kinds of heat from other stabilizer lovers and makers over this one, but I could not see spending $350.00+ on a stabilizer, so I made my own! Mocked it up with cardboard nice and tight and stuck it as close to the underneath frame as possible. There is about 1/2" below oil pan for airflow. Turned out awesome! Used 1/4" steel and stainless steel bolts. I have gotten a ton of PM's about this. Now I have to be careful to not break forum rules here w/o being a vendor, so before I decide to make them I would need an idea of how many guys on here would be interested in powder coated for $195 shipped, unpainted raw steel for $155 shipped or the emailed templates and blueprints to build your own for $49. I kinda rushed the paint on mine, but I would get others I make powder coated or chromed. Let me know.

No doubt you will soon get many responses from folks telling you how foolish you are to mess around making something like this yourself. These are the folks who stand to lose money because they make them or have already spent the big bucks to buy one so they will put you down for not buying what they bought.

I say - nicely done. Wish I were clever and mechanically inclined enough to tackle something like this.
