I have a Suzuki C50 with a Lehman conversion on it. Has anyone had a steering stabilizer put on their trike and if so did it help with the head shake and how much $$ are we talking about. Thanks.

I've got a C90 Lehman Tramp and it came with a steering stabilizer. It looks like a Daytona unit that runs around $50 the last time I bought one (2004). Does it help with head shake? You talking about steering shake on the highway or steering shake as you slow down coming to a stop? It won't help for the latter and my trike doesn't have the former.
Scanel, the stabilizer is standard on the C90, but wasn't available for the C50 until recently. Lehman now lists it as a Suzuki accessory on their site ([URL="http://www.lehmantrikes.com/default.aspx?navid=72&record=117"]Steering Stabilizer for Tramp[/URL]), but they don't list a price. I would suggest contacting them to see who might carry/install them in your area. I've lived with the headshake too, but I'm seriously considering this when $$ allows.
Lehman's MSRP for the TRAMP steering damper is $251.
Ouch!! :no: I think I'll live with the headshake until I can afford to trade up!
Keep an eye on E Bay. A lot of people have picked up universal dampeners for about $50.

Hey, don't shoot the messenger, I'm just answering the question!
I will keep my eye on e-bay and will wait on the stabilizer. I can live with it. Thanks for the info everyone.
Does stabilizer performance deteriorate over time, like a shock absorber?
Yes like anything mechanical, But its gradual , So you won't notice it right away.
