Stabilizer

Hillclimb#42:
I use a WER also on the 97 k5. I believe it makes it alot more rideable. The thing about it is though it has a little screw to turn in to stiffen the setting. These other ones have little clickers that really slow down the bars. I like that feature, because in hillclimbing you want them pretty stiff. The draw back that I have is that they stick up so high that if you come up short once that you may have a heck of an imprint on your chest, if not broken ribs.
 Isn't there any good stabilizers that have the click adjustments that have a lower profile? The only one that I can remember seeing was included in a whole triple clamp package deal.
 Anyone have a new 450? I heard that they have them as stock equipment. If so, how is that one mounted?

The new 08 Honda's have them on there 450. Its simple and nice.
No idea if it works great.

The new WERs have more resistance in them. I got one for christmas last year and it was stiffer at my normal settings. They changed a few things internally. I dont run the top mount stabilizers because I have hit the crossbar before, almost knocking my ICO computer off. I thought I saw a fender mount kit for the Scotts or GP stabilizers.
