Product Description
ZX10R steering stabilizer kits for the 2008-2010 Kawasaki ZX-10R: Scott's Performance lists a complete kit and a mount kit only for this bike, so you can buy the whole setup or only the parts you need. The damper mounts at the ZX-10R'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 complete kit is part RS-51-2949-45F (about 3.5 lb) and the mount kit only is part RM-51-2949 (about 2 lb).
