Thats too bad... Like the ideal of them being up top like that, easy to dial in etc.. wonder if its something that could be geared up though...

If you have access to a machine shop, you CAN mount it to the top triple and fabricate a couple angle brackets that bolt to the fairing mount on the front of the steering tube.

I considered it but it was just going to be too much work.

Hmmm... GPR didn't have one for the XB 2 years ago. Looks like they do now.

See how they mount it to the top triple clamp. GPR used to be one of Scott Jensen's sponsors and I talked to them a bit about the mounts and at that time, they were considering having to drill/tap into the top triple or having to make a top triple clamp.

Worth a call or email.

I emailed them asking for instructions but I just got some pics.. Looks pretty slick though, Can't tell but it almost looks a bar runs to to the motor mount..

Cool pic - that is NOT the way I pictured it being done.

Wonder if that bar is drilled/tapped into the steering head. It would have to be fastened pretty close to the damping bar thingy.

Does anyone have this stabilizer on their Lightning? I'd like to see some pics if possible...
