anyone ever put a steering stabilizer on a 250r

[250r mason]

love to know what stabilizer would be able to be adapted to a watercooled 250r front end. Thanks for any info.

i would assume one that would fit a cr dirt bike could be made to work but thats just an assuption i also would like to know if one could be made to work

you could have bought them in the 80's for the atc's.. a few of us have them

Whats the benefit?

When you are riding on crossruts or off camber whoopdedoos your handlebars don't get jerked around. If you hit a rock in the trail it won't jerk the bars out of your hand. It helps you fight fatigue, you aren't fighting the bars so much.. I have one on my Tecate. The difference is huge riding one with and one without..

The one I have was made for the 84-85 Tecate by RAM I think.

What year 250R do you have? There is an 83-84 stabilizer on Ebay.

It sold..

These cant be to hard to make. What about a aluminum door stabilizer? How log are they?

The stabilizers that RAM used back in the day were off a 60's or 70's volkswagen bug. You can still buy those dampers you just have to make the bracketry

So does anyone know what specific model and year vw one will work the ones I'm looking at don't look exactly the same to me, also it would help if I had the length of the steering stabilizer to copare to the vw's one. anyone got one to measure.

I guess we'll see, I just bought a steering stabilizer for an 85-86 250R off Ebay. Stoked..

[bcredneck]

where do you put that one the one on the tecate is right where the rad would go on a 85-86 250R theres a girl in my town that has a steering stabiliser on her
crf 150R it mounts to the inside of the steering tube and has an adjuster on the top clamp seems like that would be a better set up

[dcreel]

I don't know yet.. :-) It looks like it mounts just like my Tecate. One side on the fender, the other side mounts to the headstay.. We shall see in a few days.. Woot!!

[HondaHarry]

Ive got one too. Need to mount it up again. Tried once and it was binding, dont know why.
85/86R.
