Product Description
GSXR 1000 steering stabilizer choices for Suzuki GSXR 1000 riders (2009): a complete kit and a mount kit only. Every option below comes from Scott's own fitment list for this bike. Hard braking, a bump mid-corner or a wheelie that lands slightly off line can start head shake on a GSXR 1000; the damper slows the fast movement of the bars. For these years the complete kit is part RS-66-2162-40F (about 3.5 lb) and the mount kit only is part RM-66-2162 (about 2 lb).
