Scotts Steering Stabilizer & KDX200 ODO

[sether]

Does the Scotts Steering Stabilizer bolt on kit still allow you to bolt the stock 2005 KDX-200 odometer in place? Do I have to dump the stock odo to use the Scott's bolt on kit?

Will it help me with front end wobble in deep California Desert sand washes (35-55mph)? :yikes:

Thanks:nod:

Don't know about the odo, but it will be very pleased with how much improvement the damper makes in the sand washes, as well as in the rock gardens. Dampers rule.

I have a 1999 and it doesn't affect it at all

Sounds like a good reason to get a trailtech computer (or similar device)!! I don't know if the odometer would be in the way but it would be worth loosing for a damper. The trailtech comes with a universal mount that would acomodate the damper.

The odo will work but you will have to file down the edge of the mounting bracket of the odo. Not hard if you have a bench grinder. About 5 minutes work. The directions for doing this are included with the damper kit but it is easy to figure out what needs to be ground down when you start to install it (just in case you are thinking of buying a used one without instructions).

Yep...easy cheesy!
But go with a TrailTech if you got the Jack! Much better setup....

I installed a Scotts damper on my '03 200 two weeks ago. I used their recommended odo mount, which involved turning the odo bracket upside down, sawing/filing the bent part of the odo bracket, and putting it all back into the center hole on the upper triple clamp. Piece of cake, and it looks better than stock!

I ordered the Scotts damper today :aj:

Do the instructions for the stock bracket mod come with the bolt on kit?
