• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Scotts Steering Stabilizer

I was just looking at GPR's "post". Sure seems like it could modified to be more like a Scott's post. Cut down the vertical portion of and graft on a Scott's type post.

And then figuring out the main unit mount.......:rolleyes:

You're right of course. I just kinda read between the lines. My concern with welding on this bike is that the filler and bypass tubes are very close to where it would have to be mounted. If heat warps either of those then you could be looking at big problems.

Welding around the filler should not be an issue. That round tapped hole lug should survive it just fine.
 
20% off a stabilizer sure makes me want to buy one. Welding on the bike makes me not want to buy one. I wish I could get my hands on one for a mock-up before I committed the big bucks.
 
So is there any advantage in functionality of the Scott's versus the GPR?

(I'm stabilizer stupid. I've run dampers on hacks before, but never anything on a two-wheeler.)
 
You could go with one of these if you dont like the welding option. I put one in mine.image.jpg image.jpg
This one is a bit cusomized.
 
The one in the pic above is from my honda mx bike. Ive got the newer ohlins one on my terra, its the same bearing, just had to machine it down about 0.10mm since it was to large on the diameter.image.jpg
The newer one doesent need the long "pin" its probably just about 10mm tall.

Yes, the Scotts is WAY better IMHO. GPR has way to much low speed damping for me. Also had some leakage issues.
