Installed a GPR v4 stabilizer on my 2014 cbr 1000rr. Definitely a great upgrade! I did run into a lot of problems installing though, so I thought I would share in case anyone is looking for information about it. I bought the GPR used on craigslist, so I needed a few parts to have it fit one the cbr. I live in San Diego, So i was able to just drive to GPR and speak to them. You will need a base mount, post mount, resistor to plug into the HESD connector, and also a new arm to swap out the regular one that's on the GPR. If you're going this route, keep in mind it'll cost quite a bit, a little over $200 for everything, that's just the mounting hardware and resistor.
Anyways, I went on to install everything, removed the tank cover, took the HESD out, mounted the post mount bracket on, plugged in the resistor. Then, the steering stem nut. First off the steering stem nut is HUGE, its 41mm. So I had to go and buy a 41mm socket to remove it, BUT BEWARE, this did NOT work. you need a thin walled socket to put the steering stem nut back on over the base mount plate, and most sockets are way to big to fit in there. GPR makes a small socket that barely fits in the base mount plate and you're able to torque down the steering stem nut. That socket was about $20 and they sell it to you.
Overall, Pain in the ass going around grabbing things just to install this, luckily GPR has AWESOME customer service, and they help you with whatever you need. I hope this helps people who are looking to install used GPR's on their CBR's with the same year as mine.
Heres the finished product:
