I've said it before, keep in mind this is an opinion. The system was produced over 3 years ago, at the time it was the smallest one (think it might still be) available, nice smooth large bearing, simple to switch between Kawi-Yami, at the time it was the only one that used 31.8mm bars (others have followed suit) which gives a HUGE selection of bar rise-sweep-width and construction material, handles salt water like its Palmolive and priced competitively to lesser systems. Just a great design, unfortunately they are as available as Constitutional rights from Dianne Feinstein. EDIT-why do others like what they are using so much? I would like to know cuz I've had a few of the above suggested products.

I waited for months to get these steerings from jeff. I was told they were the best thing going. German bearing that costs a fortune and will last forever.After two months the steering felt notchie. Pulled it apart and guess what CHINA on the bearing and already rust. His design was great as it is really small but that bearing issue has always stayed with me. I do like the choice of bars to fit these though.

umi,blowsion,rrp and others of that design work very well if maintained and greased properly and not allowed to go loose.
the wdk,aura,titan,atp etc are very sturdy with less maintenance required.wdk is the smallest of that design still.the atp and titan(look like copies of each other) weigh a ton and the aura is a great value .

I really like my Ada fat bar steering plate. I use it with an Ada bearing assembly, and a blowsion krok collar so it doesn't come loose. This has been a bulletproof set up. Any steering system should be disassembled and greased once a year.

After a bunch of searching, I went with the Titan system. It seems pretty good so far. No maintenance, sealed system. We will see how it holds up over time. As for weight, it's not heavy at all really. High quality stuff :)

I got a umi for cheap that is okay. It uses the stock bushing so the only advantage is changing the steering geometry and moving the bars forward a tad. I recall I got it $90 shipped with a rrp straight bar, clamps, bushings, etc. again, acceptable option on a budget.

Quick steering question, I have a blowsion system on mine and after a few minutes of riding the krok collar but comes loose all the time. I even put red lock tight on the nut and set screw . Is my bearing bad or something that's causing this. It's very obnoxious when out riding and my bars are loose.
