Installed a steering stabilizer from Motosportz on my 2014 TE511. The install was straight forward, as there's really only way this part can go on a bike. After installation, I went for a test ride. Here are the results, on the street. My bike is set up for Super Moto. I have Warp9 17-inch wheels with Dunlops. Gearing has been changed, running 15 front 44 rear. At 65 mph it's pretty stable without any help. At 80 mph things get a little wobbly. You can feel the front end start to wiggle. With the stabilizer on, there's no steering wobble at 90 mph. Just rock solid, with the adjuster set to the firmest position. What's really nice about this unit is that it doesn't break the bank to purchase, it's infinitely adjustable from full off to full on. When I come to a stop at a light, I flip the lever to the right, which is least resistance. Turning and such is very simple, just like before the unit was installed. When I'm up to speed, I push the lever to the left. Now the front is stiffer, but weaving and wider arc turns are extremely stable and even more fun than ever. The build quality is excellent. Everything is nicely machined, all parts fit together very well. The damper portion can be removed independently from the bracket that holds it. I'm very happy with the stabilizer. It's added more riding pleasure, more stability. There's no wobble, no unsure response from the front. On freeway riding, with grooves and uneven transitions, there's no shimmy or wobble. Adding one thing to your bike to make it more fun to ride is a good thing. I'm quite sure that desert riding with the dirt wheels and tires will be even more fun, too. I enjoy higher speed desert riding, as well as low speed technical stuff. This stabilizer covers every possible encounter. I wasn't sure before the purchase, but now, I'm sure. This purchase was excellent. No buyers remorse here! I won't ride without one any longer. I had a GPR unit in my Honda CR500, so I knew what it could for me in the dirt. But never tried a stabilizer on the street. Now I know. And I hope this little bit of information might help you if you're on the fence about whether or not to buy one for your bike. Do it. You'll be so glad you did.
