From what I read I would like it but don't know if I would get all the benefits from it. I also can't see spending $500 plus yet for something like that. Maybe if I tried one out I would be more of a believer but as of right now thats alittle to much to spend.[/b]

If anyone gets the chance to run a Brute with any stablizer over the rough trails...or anything, I believe they will become a... believer. This has been the best mod I have done to date.. besides the tires.

Through on a set of rox risers and bars on then you are perfect

Got about 70 miles and some good hardhours on it now and it still makes me smile the hole time. I'm actualy vering into rocks just to...NOT feel them!! Not the cheapest, but...well...you know what they say about getting what you pay for.

I just added a steering stabilizer (dampner) from a (yfz450) like I read here , and fits perfect and made a big diifgerence in bump steer...if you ride where theres ruts and rocks it will greatley reduce those hard bump steers...I only paid about 140.00 . dont see myself paying 500.00 though...just my 2 cents worth..Rob

$140 isn't bad! But, after riding with one on my KFX, I think it's well worth $500. Even more so for the Brute Force.

With our big, heavy off-set tires & wheels, they realy come into their own. When I was just thinking about getting one, I could only guess as to the benifits, but man, after having and using for a while, you realy get a better picture of what the rider has been going through when so much is changed. Just the other day I was doing a little tight rat-racing with a buddy on a sport quad, the trail twisted hard through rocky treed hillsides and around one tight turn around a large tree was a smaller stump about 8-10" high. It was dusty and I had my wheels more then 1/2 way turned powering around this hairpin when I saw it for just a split second as it disapeared under the left front fender. I gripped hard knowing that this was it and I was going to have the bars ripped out of my hands and I was going to either brake some more ribs like I did once before or over the bars. The tire hit....and the Brute just went over it...and all I felt in the bars was a light tap. Nothing! I tell you, I was one happy dude. The last time I hit the bars and broke a batch of ribs from an encounter with a stump, it cost me way more then 500 bucks, so if you ask me now if this stabilizer was worth what I paid? My answer would a big YES!

Yes, it is an awesome device!

I'm starting to put back some a little at a time for me one! I also have had the bars ripped out of my hands! I haven't gone over the bars yet but did a pretty good handstand after catching a log underwater I didn't see...
