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

A very cheap but effective steering dampener can be had from a GSXR 750 or 1000,cheap on ebay. 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)
The 2-smoke runs deep in this one...

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.
