I do not know of a direct bolt on kit available. Scotts may make one but I doubt it. The easiest is to side mount one. Attach it to the fork tube and make a mounting point on the frame. My last bike had a bolt welded through the brace that is just below the steering head. This bike will have a threaded boss welded instead of the bolt.

Here is a thread to help with deciding on what length is required:

Yeah i would love one too. At 150-160 kmph, the wheel wobles like crazy. It would help alot IMO.

you should get your wheels looked at...maybe they're not balanced properly...
