GPR or Scotts Steering Stabilzer?

Post by AG412 »

I'm torn between a GPR or Scotts Steering Stabilizer for my 02 Honda CRF450 CR500 AF. Any input from anyone would be greatly appreciated.

Scott's do a sub mount just like the ohlins, I just ordered one
if there's one thing dad likes more than serenity… it's a two stroke engine on full throttle!

seperate high speed dampening, find a bike with one, put it on the stand and violently slam the bars side to side, if its set anywhere near proper you will feel the HS slow it right down
the 450 will have less power and will be harder to start, and will be heavier, but to make up for it it will require more maintenance.

Fitting the Ohlins SD 2.1 to 2001 Steelie?

Post by Jasper »

G'day Hoons,

I am keen to fit up one of the new type Ohlins SD 2.1 dampers to a 2001 steelie.

Ohlins offer only mounting kits for later CRFs - does anyone know if the upper steering head bearing and shaft dimensions of a 2001 CR500 is the same as any of these 2008-2009 models:

Honda CRF 250
Honda CRF 450
Honda CRF 450X
Honda CRF 250X
Honda CRF 250 R
Honda CRF 450 R
