Product Description
440 MXC steering stabilizer from Scott's Performance, listed here for the 1994-1996 KTM 440 MXC with a complete kit, a mount kit only and a bar clamp. It is a small hydraulic damper at the steering head of your 440 MXC: 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) and the weld-on mount kit only is part DM-4551-00 (about 1.5 lb); 1 more option are listed below.
