Product Description
450 MXC steering stabilizer setup for the 2003-2005 KTM 450 MXC, built on the Scott's steering stabilizer, a hydraulic damper. This page lists a complete kit, a triple clamp kit, a mount kit only, a frame bracket and a bar clamp, each with its Scott's part number. It is a small hydraulic damper at the steering head of your 450 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), the top mount complete kit is part DS-5965 (about 3.5 lb) and the sub mount complete kit is part DS-SUB-5931-01 (about 3.5 lb); 10 more options are listed below.

What is a tank slapper, and do I need a steering stabilizer on my KTM 450 MXC?
A tank slapper is a fast side to side shake of the handlebars. Our guides explain what causes it and how to decide whether you need a stabilizer: tank slappers, speed wobble and head shake and do you need a steering stabilizer.

How do I set the damping on a 450 MXC steering stabilizer?
