No, but I put one on my KTM but making a bung and welding it to the frame. What are you trying to do as that’s not a stabilizer like you’re thinking it is, it’s a damper. It basically only helps in turns to keep the front end from climbing out of the rut. You don’t feel it when Turing the wheel left and right when it’s on the stand. On track it’s only noticeable by the front end tracking correctly through the rut.

Are you looking to calm down the twitchiness of the chassis ?

I am basically wanting the front end to deflect less and allow the suspension to work better, the suspension is all setup by Enzo works amazing , I remember back in the day I had a 01 rm 125 with a wer steering stabilizer did awesome in ruts, took it off and I was deflecting off stuff worse and jumping out of ruts just thought I would entertain a stabilizer. Thank you for the info on the difference of that one, what stabilizer would you recommend or any to help any?

I've installed those Showa dampers from a CRF on a couple different bikes of mine and really like them!
Yes, they are not really designed to be "steering stabilizers" but I find that by changing the fluid to
something heavier, I get just what I which is just a little less headshake and a touch less twitch.
If you just leave the stock fluid in there, they will not give you the slightly heavier damping you
are looking for.

Ride Engineering makes some mounting kits and though I don't see any listed for your bike, look
at their photos and you can get some fabricating ideas.

The dampers themselves you can get all day on eBay.

I wasn’t able to use the Ride Engineering kit after I installed the Neken SFS triple clamps. So we copied Factory KTM/Husky and other vital members. I am super stoked with the results.

Nice setup I’m going riding for the first time in over a year and first time since I built this bike in a few weeks if I like it I’m going to do this setup you guys did and try it out. Thanks for all the information

Not sure if Ride Engineering makes a bracket, but here is my install on my 125. I welded on a tapped bung and had to modify one of the spacers slightly. I did utilize Ride Engineering’s triples though. Not as easy as a bolt on, but nothing exists and I think the install is pretty clean.

Very clean setup this is what I’m going to end up doing sometime this winter I can make it work will just have to make a bracket accordingly with my triple clamp setup
