OK, the silly question first: 97 S1 - How do I tell if I have cast or PM wheels? and what does PM stand for? My bike has the 3 spoke Buell wheels. Also, American Sports Bikes has two steering stabilizers 1) Storz brand for $420 which mounts from fork to frame and 2) Hyperpro CSC for $459 which appears to mount somewhere else. Anybody have feedback on these stabilizers? Or others? I really want one - which one I'm not sure yet. Thanks! | ||

PM ( Performance Machine) wheels are made from flat polished aluminum plate. Cast wheels are, well, cast and painted or powder coated various colors. Can't help you on the stabilizers. rt | ||

Well then I'm rockin' the cast wheels. And I love them. Not so much a fan of the polished aluminum wheels. Thanks RT | ||

The hyper pro also mounts frame to forks, just differently from the Storz... | ||

I couldn't tell eactly how the Hyperpro mounted because the picture doesn't show it "in-service" and I couldn't tell from the end-pieces. Spiderman - Do you have the Hyperpro? Any comments on it? | ||

As far as I can tell, the advantage of the Storz is the 16-position adjustments. There isn't enough information to evaluate the Hyperpro. | ||

The Storz unit is a good piece, but mine felt a little weak at full resistance. The Sprint unit I have now feels stronger at full resistance. It has a few less clicks, but still very tuneable. (Message edited by Phelan on July 15, 2010) | ||

i have a storz, cause i got it for a great price used. i am sure it is great for the track, but i seldom ride hard enough under the right conditions to warrant it. (think aero wing on a ford mustang cobra....looks great, seldom necessary) however, if you like to loft the front wheel over high speed rises as i do, it's the schizzle  | ||

Fasted - I think it will be nice around 85-90 and above to kill the little short wheel-base wiggles up front. What setting do you have yours on? Adjust it much? | ||

Not on my bike, but if that is similar to the one I think it is. It is self adjusting. The faster it moves the more resistance it puts up... | ||

The Hyperpro is Constant Speed Control (CSC) which is what you described. I don't know if I'd prefer that or adjustable selections. | ||

zero adjustment for around town as suggested by storz, then stiffen it up for spirited riding. my piggy m2 is rock steady at speed as long as it is planted. let the front end get light over a rise, though, and a lil' headshake on landing can result. 8-10 clicks stiffens things up nicely. | ||

I found a great price on a new damper, but would prefer to have my suspension re-built and tuned for better control instead, word is we don't need them if set up properly. However I put a Storz on for track and spirited canyon riding (it was cheaper and faster than a rebuild when I got it), I get a bit of a wobble at 85ish that can be disconcerting. It worked great on the track, I may have it turned up halfway, but think I only had to run it around six clicks on the track to get the control and damping I needed. Just a couple clicks in the canyons and I'm comfortable. |
