Product Description
F650 steering stabilizer from Scott's Performance, listed here for the 2009-2014 BMW F 650 with a complete kit and a mount kit only. The damper mounts at the F 650's steering head and resists fast movement of the bars, which Scott's describes as extra security under hard braking and after the front wheel lifts under acceleration. For these years the sub mount complete kit is part DS-SUB-6504-27 (about 3.5 lb) and the sub mount mount kit only is part DM-SUB-6504-27 (about 3.5 lb).
