Product Description
SXV450 steering stabilizer parts and kits for the 2007-2011 Aprilia SXV 450: the Scott's steering stabilizer, matched to the model years Scott's lists for this bike. Hard braking, a bump mid-corner or a wheelie that lands slightly off line can start head shake on a SXV 450; the damper slows the fast movement of the bars. For these years the weld-on complete kit is part DS-4551-10 (about 3.5 lb) and the weld-on mount kit only is part DM-4551-10 (about 1.5 lb); 1 more option are listed below.
