Product Description
990 Adventure steering stabilizer setup for the 2007-2013 KTM 990 Adventure, built on the Scott's steering stabilizer, a hydraulic damper. This page lists a triple clamp kit, a mount kit only and a frame bracket, each with its Scott's part number. The damper sits at the 990 Adventure's steering head and resists fast left to right bar movement, which helps when gravel, sand or washboard starts the front end shaking. For these years the sub mount triple clamp kit is part DT-SUB-3530 (about 4.5 lb) and the sub mount mount kit only is part DM-SUB-3530 (about 4.5 lb); 1 more option are listed below.
