OK, I’ll ask first, “what’s a steering stop” ?.
Am looking at installing a steering stop on my 2008 RT.
Is a steering stop going to keep the bike upright & travelling in a straight line.

Why would you fit a steering stop to a road bike? The device is designed for off road bikes that can take a real beating when trying to do tight maneuvers over rough surfaces on full lock.
Bit like this guy? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EklFNcJyE0U
Where the handle bar stop is on the underside of the top yoke (a moulded aluminium protrusion pointing down, where it hits the welded on piece of the headstock to create the stop position) Would it not be possible to add a self adhesive packer of some description to reduce the amount of turn?
