Tank slappers/steering stabilizers

Today I got a very bad tankslapper from a standup. I hit one of the reflectors in the middle of the road going uphill, and it made my bike wobble. The wobble wasen't that bad, but I decided to set down before it gets worst. As soon as I sat it down, I got the meanest tankslapper ever. I just held on and stopped accelerating, it then recovered(thank god). I've had worst wobbles when i'm in a wheelie, but never had the tankslapper this bad. Don't know why it happend like this and not other times

Do you guys think a steering stablizer will help? And have anyone had tankslappers with the stabilizers on?

No, steering stabilizers are made to make your bike shiny and in no way do they stabilize your steering.

If I wanted your wise *** comment(which has nothing to do with my question moron) then I would have asked for it. I asked if it helps in keeping it from a tankslapper, or if anyone has had a tankslapper with one on. You wouldn't know anything about it and nor would I take your advise on somthing you don't have, never have used and about somthing you can't do.
Go take more pictures and mpegs about yourself and post it up, dumbass.

Oh and if you meant that steering stabilizers are made to make your bike shiny, then i'm sorry about what I said above and please forgive me for making fun of you, because I didn't know kids from mental rehabs could use computers.

www.****inggoogleit.com

Look up steering dampers, guess what, they do help to stop tank slappers, you may still get one, but the damper corrects it very quicky. I never had a problem with my stock damper on my GSX-R600 I only had one tankslapper with that piece of **** stabilizer because I hit a pot hole.

So when you pay 300 dollars for a Scott's I'm sure it'll work okay. They don't make things to not work, unless you like to go on diets.
