The FZ1 can shake its head pretty good if you're a aggressive rider or do occasional track days. This can mostly happen when you're hard on the throttle and get the front end light. When the front tire touches back down it's wobble time. The Holeshot FZ1 steering damper kit will cure this problem, making the bike more stable without getting in a tank slapper or you getting big eyes from hanging on for your life.

The Holeshot damper itself is a quality unit made in Japan with 7 available click adjustments from soft to heavy. Dales design is a side mount that does not restrict the riders movement, the gas tank or installing lower bars like a top mount style damper can. This also allowed us to keep the price at a reasonable level. The kit is a direct bolt on without any modifications to the bike whatsoever. All the mounting components are computer machined from air craft 6061-T6 aluminum, then black anodized to protect them from the elements and to give them a very clean look. Stainless steel mounting hardware is inlcuded as well as easy to follow instructions.

Our numbered installation tip photos should also be used while installing the Holeshot FZ1 steering damper kit.

neat and tidy and nicely
tucked behind the fairing.

clamps the left frame
brace tube securely, its
very clean, strong and
requires no drilling to
install.
