Suspension and Dampeners

[PoWn3d_0704]

Hey everybody,

I've been riding the living crap out of my KFX 450 lately, and after being on the dunes for a day or two, it's almost unbearable to ride. The front end has almost no travel, and it has nearly thrown me off the bike while mobbing across the flats. I'm looking for the best way to settle down the ride and make things more comfortable.
I know the obvious choice would be to throw some FOX floats or Elkas on the quad, but will putting a steering dampener on the thing help much? Also, what EXACTLY is the difference between a stabilizer and a dampener?
I'm looking for an inexpensive way to make the ride more enjoyable.

Thanks in advance
