I have never heard of one on a scooter, but scooters are getting bigger, so I guess they will work on those types of bikes as well. Let us know if it makes any difference.

Reminds me of the Tele-Fix I had on my last bike(R75) (which DID make a difference). These 150's are rock-solid so yeah, there might not be a noticeable difference (other than the money spent).

I was going to ask the same thing - what problem is it supposed to cure and in reality, does it do anything? If someone brought out a flux-capacitor for the PCX I bet there are some that would by it hoping to warp time and space, only it would be hard to reach the 88mph to activate the device!

For all the sceptical's, it works better than expected, like chancing your 15" tyres with 19" ones on your car

Try to move your handlebar while your front wheel is blocked and amaging that the spongy feel is gone, than you know what this stabiliser can do

There is no problem with the Forza Steering and Stability.
Did you have a Problem, and this is why you are installing this?

I didn't say the Forza is bad but there is always room for improvements

I was hoping I didn't read this whole thread for nothing.

Fact is that the Forza has a single crown (yoke) design front fork, known for its flex vs double crown designs like the best steering scooter the T-Max, mounting a fork stabilizer is the second best thing you can do on a single crown fork design.
Forza,
double crown system,

Ah... here comes the science and reason. You should have posted this first to make your point. Now it makes sense.

Forza,
Those 4 bolts at the top of the fork are the only things holding your front wheel to scooter. I often wonder why the casting at the top does not crack every time I hit a pot hole. Scary when you look at it.
So is the front fender actually a structural member?
