    I have one on my dirt bike. It makes sand washes a pleasure. I am not looking forward to the XCX in the sand without one.

    Does anyone have one on their Tiger and if so which manufacturer?

    Thanks in advance.

    GPR Stabilizer has them for the Tiger 800 also.

    Good to hear. I have a GPR on my KTM 530.

    I installed a GPR stabilizer this winter on my XC and it was a very straight forward install. Have only ridden on the street so far (it's still winter here in Idaho). Am looking forward to riding this summer in the dirt, rocks and sandy areas to see how it will improve the stability of the front end.

    I bought the GPR because it is reasonably priced and the install seemed easy. The only thing I had to change was not using my Rox Risers because it brought the bars to high and was stretching the cables. Found some 30mm risers to use. Now I need to sell the Rox Risers!

    Does anyone know if there have been changes incidental to the new model year that would preclude using a model for a 2014 Tiger XC on a 2015 Tiger XCx?

    Well crap, I just installed a set of Rox Risers! Maybe the Scotts will fit with the Rox Risers?

    Scotts does not make one yet for the Tiger. I just installed the GPR - fairly straightforward (only because my buddy helped me). I have yet to test it out but if it is like the one I have on my dirt bike I am sure it will be great. I will post a ride report in a couple of weeks (busy busy).

    I have a Ralle Moto RM2 damper on order from www.mscmoto.com

    I spoke with Mark recently. He is flat out making dampers for the Finke desert racers and the big cross Australia rally about to start soon.

    I have a RM2 on my DRZ and it is far more adjustable on the go than the Scott damper I used on the DL650. For some riders the adjustablity away and back from centre is too complex. With this in mind he has made the Axis damper ( similar to the Scott with only one adjuster knob) for adventure bikes like the Tiger 800.

    The Axis is $497 Au ( cheaper than the RM2) that should be around $373 US approximately + freight I guess.
