Stabilizer, gas tank and bars

<< < (2/2)

Hello.

Well I got the cross bar bent just fine.
Now, the weld-on tower is too tall.
I am using the BRP clamp.
It seems it must be cut to weld right.
Also, the stabilizer will seem to fit, but the stabilizer arm will basically be toughing the Clarke 3.9g tank.  It think that is ok, because the arm doesn't move.
Any other person with the weld-on tower have to cut theirs?

Thanks,

Kevin

If I remember correctly, scotts sells different arms with different bends/heights. Also, depending on what type of mount you use, that will dictate the combination of arm and tower (pin height) to use.
Finally, since I pulled my stabilizer off my old bike before I sold it, I had to get a new tower and mount. The tower was easy, a piece of solid stainless tube with the end notched. The mount, well I was supposed to have one made but my buddy flaked out and now im looking to just buy one.

good luck.

Spider:
If I remember right the tower pin stop slides to accommodate different heights.
Just checked the manual and it does, leave 20mm below the stop. I bought mine used with the tower cut from another bike. After adjusting the pin it just barely fit. The tower is pretty close even on a stock tank
