Fit great!
Tom in AB
Comments On Aug 28, 2012:This was easy to mount, took about 1hr. You only need to take the top triple clamp off, make sure there is something under the wheel so it doesn't fall.
Totally calmed down the busy bars of this bike.

Does the job
Jay in QLD
Comments On Mar 21, 2012:Only problem I'm having the the KTM300 is the throttle cable hooks on the adjuster knob when turning the bars right.
The dampener does it's job for a simple dampener, so I'm happy. Good bang for buck.
Make sure you use locktite when screwing the dampener down, you won't quite get a hex-key into the holes to tighten them with the bars on (with fat bars).

Holy crap, I had no idea what a difference!
Adam in UT
Comments On Jun 16, 2011:All I can say is wow... It felt kind of weird at first having resistance against the steering but once I got out on the trails and dunes I was converted completely. Clearly the BEST performance addition I have ever made to my bike (CRF 450R).
That being said, yes as noted, the instructions for this kit leave a little to be desired in the clarity dept (meaning they lump all the special circumstances for every bike manufacturer into the instructions together, which makes it very confusing), they also need much better pictures. But in the end I used my little brain, read them a couple times and figured it out. The fit and install was perfecto, could not ask for better quality than this.
Riding was dramatically changed, following marshmellow sand ruts at the dunes was eased tremendously. Trail riding on hardpacked ruts and rocks got so much easier to control. Busy arms are a thing of the past. I rode with it set to #2 at first now ride mostly at #4 now that I know how to have the whole zen thing going with it.
If I could give it 6 stars I would, and thank you to all the other reviewers whose input caused me to give this thing a chance in the first place!

Works great
KATHLEEN in MO
Comments On Feb 22, 2011:I've used Scotts dampers for years, but wanted an underbar mount that was lower. I was not dissapointed in the fitment or performance of this damper. 2008 YZ450F

Bars Too Busy
Cody in UT
Comments On Jan 13, 2011:The bars were way to busy for me almost unbearable to ride. Bought this and problem solved. Little pricing at first but worth every penny. Wont ride without one again.

Minor Mods required for install
ROGER in NV
Comments On Sep 08, 2010:I love my GPR stablizer, but the install required some tweeking. Had to leave off the fuel tank bracked at the top of the tank because with the GPR kit there wasn't room to have both.

Great product
PAUL in CA
Comments On Nov 16, 2009:The GPR stabilizer is an great product and comes as a complete kit. The instructions suck! They are just way to vague and lack the information needed. A call to GPR with any questions will get you on track, they are great to deal with. I especially like how this unit only raises the bars 3/8" You won't be disappointed!

Just what my KTM needed
TIMOTHY in AZ
Comments On Oct 06, 2009:One of my bikes is a 08 KTM 200XCW that was a little too busy for my liking in the sandy areas and through the washes here in the desert. Awhile back I had put a Scotts on one of my 4 strokes and was really pleased with the improvement that it made. So, I decided to try a stabilizer on the KTM. When I saw the GPR V4 setup offered at Rocky Mountain for a really good price, I thought I would give it a go. Like reported in the other reviews, the instructions do leave a bit to be desired. However, a call to GPR answered all of my questions. The guys there are a good group that really know what's up. The installation was painless and straightforward and only took about 20 minutes. Also included with the stabilizer is neat billet cable guide for the throttle cable for my model of bike. The fit and finish of the whole setup is first rate. But most of all, the difference it made to my bike is outstanding. This bike is so much more stable, and planted feeling, and less fatiguing to ride, that it's unbelivable. This is without a doubt the best improvement that could possibly be made to this motorcycle. I doubt I can say enough good about what the GPR V4 did for this KTM. Let me assure you, that if you get one, you won't be disappointed. Plus, unlike my other stabilizer, GRP will service this for free for as long as I own it.

04 crf250r
Matt in UT
Comments On Jul 06, 2009:The other reviews are not joking the instructions really suck!!! stabilizer and bar mounts worked perfect, the ring that goes on under the triple clamp, i had to grind down cause my steering was binding on it and the stem that goes into the steering stabilizer would not fit in its slot so i also had to grind it out a very small amount to make it work properly. Once i got it on though it has been the best thing i have ever bought for my bike!!!!

Great stabilizer
Steven in TX
Comments On May 11, 2009:Great product, but the installation instructions could use some work. If the instructions are unclear to you, dont waste your time trying to figure it out. Pick up the phone and call GPR. I called and got Randy at GPR, and he had me sorted out in about 3 minutes. Excellent customer support.

Great Product!
Jason in UT
Comments On Apr 28, 2009:This product has been great. I don't think I would ever ride without one again. It makes a huge difference. I installed this on a 2008 CRF450R. Fit's great. Instructions were not very clear...

Works great, install questionable
STEVE in CA
Comments On Apr 02, 2009:My CRF250X kit came with the wrong post mount and wrong bolts that go from under the triple clamp into the handlebar clamp. The post mount fit very poorly around the head tube so the long bolts rubbed on the post mount when turned in both directions. The installation instructions are worthless and missed a lot of details. After discussing the matter with GPR, they sent me the correct post mount and bolts (no charge). The fitment was improved about 85%. Now the right side bolt slightly rubs on the post mount when turned completely to the right. The person I spoke to at GPR stated that Honda CRF frame specs can vary 1-3mm so the GPR kits won't all fit perfectly (hmmmmm). Despite all the drama with the post mount, the GPR stabilizer and handlebar clamp are fantastic. The sub-mount system is very compact and hidden under the handlebar. Comes with a large 8-position adjustment knob, tank strap (for CRF "X") and GPR bar pad. With the RM $100 coupon I saved a lot versus purchasing a Scott's kit from BRP.
