As much fun as it is to come out of a turn in 4th gear in the power and get that tickle in your tummy as the head shakes and dances barely kissing the pavement. I should probably do something about it. Maybe the factory R5 steering stabilizer does something, I can't tell...
Slowing down? You first.
I can do more with my suspension and don't really want to add an aftermarket stabilizer, but it seems the most logical component.
I've got upgraded fork springs via Racetech and rear suspension is made by Tec if I remember correctly. Fork oil weight gives very little damping (10w?).
Where is my time/money best spent?

Feel free to move this if this doesn't fit the idea of The Speed Shop.

Thanks for any help.

Why NOT add a stabilizer?  $150 from Economy, and very functional....



Then you can add a nice RD top Nut:

1971 R5
1976 RD200
2022 Moto Guzzi V7 850 Special

1976RD400C

I'm all for getting one like AAAltered. I got one like that and it does wonders. Did you try cranking the stock one up, it should do something?

I've got the steering damper from Economy Cycle on my 400 and am happy with it. I've got the racetech emulators and am happy with those as well.

You won't got wrong with either, but if I had to choose, I would go with the emulators over the steering damper.

Perfect. Thanks for the help guys.

Do emulators require machining on R5 forks?
