Steering stabilizer for P/PP
« on: May 18, 2013, 09:52:30 PM »
Just want to make certain I am reading the rulebook properly...a steering stabilizer is ok for P/PP?

Edit:  Just searched the forum and found my answer.  :cheers:

Steering damper seemed to settle down the rear tire on my little bikes and you probably will enjoy a slight cornering improvement on the street with just a turn or two. If you want to look for soft records, try pushrod sidecar. We have had a full H-D bagger with Nitrous bottles in the side bags run. Not in P/PP

When the wind got over 20 mph at Bonneville while I was doing 120+ on my CX650T, I was happy for the steering stabilizer.  That and a change of underwear are pretty important when conditions change like that.
