    Looking for some info on how to tighten up the steering, for some reason don't know why but eversince the bike went over the steering is alot looser than before, I mean it use to have a very tight feel about it, but now it feels like i've got power steering on it, and it feels really free, maybe thats normal after awhile but I want that tight feeling back

    Tighten the stem nut slightly or get a steering stabilizer.

    BPG I'm going to get a stabilizer but I'm looking for one that is alot more eye pleasing, but it's not that I really need one, I've never exp. the tank slapper or a vib. in the front, but right now just want to get that tight feeling back

    There is another one, LeFox has the link. I think it is a GPX brand steering damper, it is a different design from the LSL so it doesn't just stick off to one side...

    LSL is a bottom mount, How is it going to stick off to one side?

    The pic that I've seen it mounts and part of it sticks out on the right side, not sure how to explain it, it's on another post somewhere.
