Product Description
GSF 1200 Bandit steering stabilizer for the 1998-2005 Suzuki GSF 1200 Bandit, with 2 Scott's Performance kit options on this page: a complete kit and a mount kit only. Hard braking, a bump mid-corner or a wheelie that lands slightly off line can start head shake on a GSF 1200 Bandit; the damper slows the fast movement of the bars. For these years the weld-on complete kit is part RS-29-0046-40S (about 3.5 lb) and the weld-on mount kit only is part RM-29-0046 (about 2 lb).
