Steering Stabalizer

[Fast6hand]

So I need some rider experience with these things.

They have 7/11/16 way adjustable ones. Non and rebuildable ones.

Price range from 120-150ish.

I was looking at the Streamline and Labtek ones. Do they need a special size clamp to fit on stem? Do they need to be a blaster specific item?

Any input? Thanks.

I use a Streamline 7 and I think I remember it being specific for the Blaster tube sizes.

Tubes as far as the frame? I just upgraded to LSR stem. And is that rebuildable? Does it really matter?

Frame and stem size , mine is not rebuild able

I run an 11 way rebuildable, I think I got it from ATV Galaxy on ebay.
the 7 or 11 way will be good enuf for a trail blaster, and whichever you get, be sure it's a rebuildable one.
the rebuild kits are only $30-sum, versus another $120+ in a few years when the o-rings wear out.
get one listed for blasters so the clamps match your frame tubes and steering stem.

you'll wonder how you ever ran without one !

So it should bolt up to the LSR steering stem no problem. I don't know if there tubing is larger or not.

their tubing cannot be larger, or it would require a new, larger top clamp.
which it does not, they use the same O.D. chrome moly, just thinner wall thickness.

Ahh ha! Makes perfect sense. Thanks. I'm going to find one specific for the blaster.

avoid the $118 non rebiuildables

the cheapest rebuildable is a 7 way @ $134

spend the few extra $ and get the 11 way..........

Yea I saw those when searching earlier. How much more adjusting do you get from the 7 to 11 way?

11
-7
-------
4 more clicks

wether that computes to actual leverage or not ?
but gives you extra minute adjustments

I see. Can't wait to ride it again with the new stem and stabilizer. Ride report in the future.

I ended up purchasing the Fabtek 16 way. Considering it was cheaper than (a few bucks) the Streamline 11 way. I figured it would be nice to have lots of adjustments. Now I just can't wait to get everything put back together. It's gonna ride totally different.

 

[Fast6hand]

So it finally showed up. Looks like a nice product.

 

[Awk08]

nice !

now it's time to learn to ride all over again, keeping your hands way looser than you'd ever imagine is safe.
if set right for the conditions, the stabilizer won't let it turn quickly or get ripped outta your hands.
takes some time to get used to and really trust it.
alot of times I push with the opposite loose grip hand to turn, instead of a death grip and pull in the direction of turn.
freaks me out now when I ride other quads without a stab, just feels too loose of steering.

I have seen some steering stem with a larger OD tubing, they cut the OD of the tubing down where the top clamp is.


I love my steering stabilizer!
