Product Description
SXV550 steering stabilizer parts and kits for the 2007-2012 Aprilia SXV 550: the Scott's steering stabilizer, matched to the model years Scott's lists for this bike. On a road bike like the SXV 550, head shake often starts when you roll off the throttle and the front end dives, or when the front wheel lands slightly off line; a steering stabilizer slows that side to side movement. 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.

Does it work with the original triple clamps?
Scott's designs its road bike kits to fit with the original triple clamps and other original parts. If you changed the clamps on your SXV 550, ask before ordering.
