The GPR V5D is the fifth generation steering damper designed for dirt bikes and adventure bikes. Its compact and slim design allows for the damper to be mounted below the handlebars, out of harm’s way, without raising the bars more than an inch. Frame mounts are machined steel or Cryogenic treated billet aluminium with stainless steel pin, and billet aluminium machined bar-mounts. Choose the GPR Pro Kit option and you’ll get a black anodised machined top-clamp, available for some applications.
The function of a steering damper is to dampen or control the side-to-side sweep motion of the handle bars. Tank-Slappers, high speed wobbles, deflection and hitting any road debris should be absorbed and controlled by the steering damper. As well as reducing fatigue and arm-pump. Unfortunately stock steering dampers are usually of the linear type, not adjustable and fall way short of doing what a proper steering damper should do.
GPR V5-D Kit Types
V5-D Fat Bar kit – A Sub mount kit, mounts below the handlebars. Uses the low-profile GPR V5D dirt bike stabiliser in a cradle-style handlebar mount and bolts to the stock triple clamp. Complete bolt on kit. Will raise bar height about 7/8th". Fixed position

V5-D Pro Kit (Rubber Mount or Solid Mount) -The latest generation of Pro Kit. A Sub-mount kit, mounts below the handlebars. Using the GPR V5D dirt bike stabiliser, mounts the unit directly to the GPR triple clamp. Which allows the use of independent bar mounts with a forward, middle and back bar position, and 4 Bar Mount position options. Mounting the unit flush on the triple clamp very closely resembles the stock bar height, with a rise of about .100″.
INCLUDED IN KIT:
-
GPR V5D Stabiliser
-
GPR Billet Top Triple Clamp
- GPR Handlebar Mount
-
Post Mount
- Mounting Hardware
The GPR V5 Pro Kit bar mounts are available in a solid mount or rubber mount. As a result of the V5D unit mounted directly to the triple clamp, the rubber absorption doesn’t interfere with the function of the stabiliser while adding a level of comfort for the rider.
