Much recommended if you are doing a lot of track riding. Helps settle the bike under WOT conditions when the front is skipping along...

It takes some doing to install this thing, though, including removing the plastic guide for the wireing that comes into the front fairing area of the bike.

It is reasonably priced if ordered from one of the online parts suppliers offering a discount. With the discount of my parts supplier of choice I'm looking at $400.

It is a nice piece but a pain to install. Unless they start giving people directions.

Maybe as a end consumer piece it will include something that resembles instructions/directions.!?

Has anyone tried the GPR stabilizer (http://www.gprstabilizer.com/shopping_sportbikes_b uell_1125r_All)? I wonder if it is not easier to install and more accessible for adjustment?

I have a GPR very simple to install. Al @ American Sport Bike Carries them. I can adjust it on the fly if need be, very happy with it.

The GPR would be nice on an 09-10 bike. On an 08 I couldn't bring myself to cover the 25th anniv top tree. ; )

Bitubo has a tube style damper available also.
