Product Description
XR600R steering stabilizer choices for Honda XR 600 R riders (1988-2000): a complete kit, a triple clamp kit, a mount kit only, a frame bracket and a bar clamp. Every option below comes from Scott's own fitment list for this bike. It is a small hydraulic damper at the steering head of your XR 600 R: oil moves through adjustable valving, so hard hits are taken out of the bars before they reach your hands. For these years the weld-on complete kit is part DS-4551-00 (about 3.5 lb), the bolt-on complete kit is part DS-5360-00 (about 3.5 lb) and the weld-on triple clamp kit is part DT-7058-4551 (about 7.5 lb); 5 more options are listed below.

Questions riders ask
Which kit do I need for the XR 600 R?
If you do not have a Scott's stabilizer yet, pick a complete kit. If you already own one, a mount kit only moves it to this bike.
Will it fit my handlebars?

What is a tank slapper, and do I need a steering stabilizer on my Honda XR 600 R?
