Default Steering stabilizer options for '03 EC200

So, stupidity sold my Scott's stabilizer with my ktm a couple months ago. I need one for my EC200. I looked on GPR, Motospotz, Fastway, etc. The only company that lists Gasgas is Scott's. I know some of you are running other brands though. What gives?

Im running the motosportz under bar on my '12 300 and find it does a great job and is extremely easy to adjust on the fly. I would buy another.

Contact them directly via email.

I use a Scotts with a home made under bar bracket and a weld on tower.

Works very well.

I have a W.E.R. on my 2003 EC250. I'm thinking about taking it off because it doesn't seem to need it, but maybe it's doing something I'm missing.
I'm curious what makes you want to run a steering Stabilizer.

I'm wondering if it's because in Minnesota we don't have a lot of rocks and the trails in general are pretty smooth.

I've ran with, and without. Once the stabilizer is adjusted to your liking...they can be a bacon saver in the chop.

We have rocks everywhere we ride and I know it has saved me many times in the past. It helps provide stability too which is nice for woods riding with all of the rocks and roots we have here.

GPR said they only have them down to '07

I've got emails in to a couple other vendors.

Toadl: if you really sell your WER let me know. I'm interested.

I also have a WER that was on my 200. Took it off to see if there was any noticeable difference......not really.....the GG is planted and stable even at race speeds and single track trail speeds.

On the other hand I have a GPR mounted with a Fastway bar clamp and Applied triple tree on my YZ 125 would not dare to race without it!
Both bikes have proper suspension set up for my weight, but the 200 just has a much more stable feel......could be the wheelbase, or the fact that I'm just more aggressive on the 125.

Fastway is also a no go although they said there's works with a Scott's mount. Haven't heard from Motosportz yet. I didn't contact WER yet, but would assume they have a Gasgas mount as so many Gasgas guys use them.

Looks like Scott's one WER. I've always run Scott's and loved it, but was just curious about other options.

I notice the lack of stabilizer even more on the 200. The Gasgas is a very stable chassis, but the lightness of the bike is noticeable compared to the 250 and 300 and for all of the roots and rocks we run I will be adding the stabilizer.

Just wanted to reiterate that this is for my '03. Newer bikes would probably have more options.

I have a GPG on my 03 250 the mount is some YZ? I called them and had to talk with one of the techs.

If you are planing on buying new get the Scotts far better than GPR or WER
