Product Description
GSF 1250 Bandit steering stabilizer setup for the 2007-2009 Suzuki GSF 1250 Bandit, 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. On a road bike like the GSF 1250 Bandit, head shake often starts when you roll off the throttle and the front end dives, or when the front wheel lands slightly off line; a steering stabilizer slows that side to side movement. For these years the weld-on complete kit is part RS-29-0055-40S (about 3.5 lb) and the weld-on mount kit only is part RM-29-0055 (about 2 lb).
