Steering Damper
quickrip:
to clear it up for anyone searching the topic gpr wont service for free but their prices are very reasonable. Ive had my gpr for 6 years and changed the oil 2 times at home with downloadable instructions on gpr's website. works great
kxraptor:

Weld a tab just above steering stop on the front of the frame neck, drill a hole in it and mount the unit there then purchase a fork clamp from one of the road race suppliers or have one made. This is how I keep them from gettin the shakes at over 100+ in the quarter.CBX

if im not mistaken a "street" stabilizer will explode on a dirt bike. i don't think they are built to take the same abuse as a dirt bike. so you may save money but i exploded a gsxr stabilizer (2007 klx 450, 2008 vegas to reno)

Looking on the GPR website it looks like the GPR V1 steering dampers are the same for street or dirt. Just with a different fitting kit.
I'm no expert on them though and don't own one so its possible that I'm reading it wrong.
