Pitbull just started with their stabilizers and they support us with their stands also....bunch of good folks over there. I'm sure they are looking to broaden their spectrum

Kane has a point. I rock a GPR along with many other stunters out there and IT seems to work fine.

All stabilizers work off the same concept. The biggest differences is the looks of the equipment(color/mounting points) and adjustibility(more or less settings).

completely different on the inside.

GPR is unique in that their design is sort of a tapered screw... while the scotts is more of a rudder..

the biggest differance is like this.

Scotts has (not sure exactly) say 10 points of adjustability. that is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, &10
each one is sigified with a click
while #1 is all the way counter clockwise and #10 is all the way clockwise.
you CAN NOT go from 10-1 by just turning one more clockwise. you must go back through 9, 8, 7...

GPR has 8 clicks.
but think of the clicks more as a spectrum ie: 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2... etc
their tapered design also allows for a rider to go from 8 to 1 by just one more click clockwise. pretty awesome design in fact.

they also make stunter specific dampers. When you place your order just mention that you are a stunter. they will send you a damper with a thicker weight oil.

another unique thing about the GPR is their pinless/fork design mounting hardware. over time their old design where in the bottom portion of the mount had a small 1/4" pin and the lever off the damper fit around it. over time that would wear and cause even the slighted .123123124124132 of movement. that movement can easily translate into a tankslapper. their new design eliminates that problem. and is also easier to remove/put together.

ALSO
GPR comes in colours...
but they cant anodize pink.. yet...

anyways..

Re: What kinda steering stabilizer should I get?

I got a scotts a few weeks ago and im happy with it, didnt make me an instant stoppie pimp like I had hoped though!!lol. the good thing about scottss is if you have more than one bike, you only have to by an extra mount and you can transfer it from one bike to the other, cheaper than buying 2 dampers, or a new one if you change bikes.

Re: What kinda steering stabilizer should I get?

Re: What kinda steering stabilizer should I get?

Ohlins
Hyperpro
Scotts
GPR

All good companies.

I hear that rod style dampers are better for rolling long endos though. I cant roll 10 feet, so it doesnt matter to me.
