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.

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

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?
