Some of you have asked about my stabilizer so here's so here's the details. I installed it 2 months ago. I got it mainly to pass tech inspection.

The stabilizer has 20 positions, 1 being little dampening 20 being lots. I test drove it first on 5 and it was too much. I liked 1 and when I get use to it I may go to 5 or so. The faster you go the more damning you need. The GPR appears to be high quality, it mounts very well. I paid $500 for it (the price of a used Honda) and got it from the GPR web site. Shipping was another $18.

Have you ever inquired to find out what the thought is for making a stabilizer mandatory?

Is there any way to legally run without one if you so desire?

What class is this in?

I know WERA requires a stabilizer. I believe CCS does not.

really slick deal you got there. i think it looks way better than a shock mounted on the side of the fork, and it is adjustable.

never thought that GPR would make one just for us buellers.

thanks for the details!

I have never used one of those on a buell but i rode a friends cbr which had one on it and it was really cool when you get the front wheel up you could feel it work.
