Product Description
VFR800F steering stabilizer setup for the 1998-2013 Honda VFR 800F, built on the Scott's steering stabilizer, a hydraulic damper. This page lists a complete kit and a mount kit only, each with its Scott's part number. On a road bike like the VFR 800F, 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 complete kit is part RS-15-1314-40F (about 3.5 lb) and the mount kit only is part RM-15-1314 (about 2 lb).
