Product Description
TL1000R steering stabilizer setup for the 1997 Suzuki TL 1000R, built on the Scott's steering stabilizer, a hydraulic damper. This page lists a mount kit only, each with its Scott's part number. On a road bike like the TL 1000R, 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 mount kit only is part RM-17-1423-50 (about 2 lb).
