Ordered mine today and thanks BF Freak for the review that was encouraging I'm not buying a bad product.After doing a lot of web searching I'm confident the product is well worth the extra money.[/b]
And you know, when you sell your Brute, you can keep the stabilizer and put it on your next machine, and if its not a Brute, you can just buy the mount from Precision for the machine.
One other note,remember what I said about torking and making sure the alignment is right before you lock everything into place. And on the stem bracket, its made special to vice-in around the stem and push a set pin into the stem as you tork-down, so when you do tighted it, make sure its even and the gap between the two halfs close evenly, and again,watch the tork values. For some reason, my tork wrench wouldn't click when it should and I ended up getting some new bolts from Lowe's bolt bin.
Well its been 500 miles now and time for a report on the Precision Steering Stabilizer for the Brute.
A full inspection of the unit was done and the findings were:
* All bolts held their tork
* No movement in the mounting at any point
* No movement of the stem mount.
* No noticeable wear of the arm bushings and no service was ever done.
* No leaks in the unit itself
* No change in the unit's characteristics from new.
Being used to the control and comfort the unit gave, I decided to take the arm off and take it for a ride just to remind myself what it was like before. Man..within the first few hundred feet I went from my normal relaxed state to almost a white-knuckle state with that old death grip back on the bars as it seemed I felt everything on the trail impacting my hands. After only a half a mile I was feeling it back in the shoulders too. Needless to say I stopped and put the arm back on. Its staying on..especialy with these new 11" tires!
In summary, this application can be classified in only one way - "BRUTE CERTIFIED". More then worth the money. I highly recommend it for yours.

Looked into that today because a barely used one was selling at a good price. I thought $60-$100 but they are $180

I to am from NM and ride a lot in CO. I own a "08" Brute. I envy the guys with power steering!
