Product Description
ZX12R steering stabilizer setup for the 2002-2005 Kawasaki ZX-12R, 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. A steering stabilizer on a Kawasaki ZX-12R is there for the moments when the front end goes light and the bars start to shake; it resists that fast side to side movement. For these years the complete kit is part RS-47-2633-40F (about 3.5 lb) and the mount kit only is part RM-47-2633 (about 2 lb).
