Default Bagger Brace or Glide Pro?

Anybody use these? Would there be any reason to use both?

Too much vibration with both installed. Many threads on this topic.

Put the Glide Pro kit on my '91 Electra Glide and it tightened her up like young nun. All the slop and wobble was GONE. A little high frequency vibration added but nothing compared to the "ride on rails" feel of the bike afterwards. Highly recommend Glide Pro as it corrects the OEM flaw in design of the weak isolator mounts in the swing arm. Also replace the front motor mount too also supplied by Glide Pro.

I have used the Glide Pro on both my own bikes and a few riding buddies and the results have been very satisfactory.

2 completely different things though, one addresses the root cause of the problem and the other masks the problem. Why put a band aid over something that is not going to heal ???

I put a Glide Pro front mount on my SG and the difference in vibration was HUGE. I thought about installing the whole kit, but kinda like a little vibration when sitting at a stop light. I think it looks kinda bad ***.

I like the Glide Pro front mount, hated the rear mounts. Have a Bagger Brace and it works.

Same here with my 08 SG. Maybe a little more vibration, been so long I can't recall, but it's worth it.
