The kit raises the bars a little, I fell much more comfortable standing now.

Did you fix your leaky kick start seal, sensuous?

:roll:

I've been debating on a stabilizer. Not sure which - GPR or Scotts...

I still aint fixed the kicker seal on the gen1 yet, I got one but havent slapped it on yet.


I tried getting a scotts first but couldt find a post for the frame, I guess scotts stopped making them for the gen 1 awhile back. Ive never ridden with a damper before so I cant really compare all I can say is its night and day vs without one. I hit the whoops as faster than normal and had no issues I even got into a deep sand wash and tried to make it shake its head (chopping gas, getting on the front brake etc) and it just wouldnt do it, you can pretty much ride one handed through stuff you would normally be deathgripping.

Its the first time I went on a long desert whooped out haul ass ride and dint get any armpump. Its a lot of coin for something small but goddamn its worth it.

thats sweet :lol: . i think thats why my tendency is to sit down so much on the steely, the bars seem really low almost by my knees. the bars seem alot higher on the gen3

bout the only thing the damper did for me in the dunes was take a lil head shake out of it when i would go haulin azz thru the chop and rutted out stuff.. aside from that i usually turn it down quite a bit now that know wtf im doing with adjusting it.
