Installing their motor mount and both stabilizers did not seem to make any difference in the vibration transmitted to the frame.

While these look interesting, I prefer the vulva ride myself.

Seems to me that you would need to do a complete frame, engine and tranny alignment after install. Sorry I've never tried them, want to be the first and tell us how it goes?

I was one of the first wth the IDS. Someone has to break the trail! Go for it and tell us if it's worthwhile.

As I said above, I did install the motor mount and both stab links, and I feel that they are no better than original, but your result may be different.

You would not have to re-align the engine, if you are careful.
Just remove the stab links one at a time, measure them with a vernier caliper and adjust the new link to the old one's dimension.

Not only that but it looks like these stabalizers give some? Like a small shock absorber.
Would this not allow the engine/rear swingarm to mis-align with the frame? Under certain conditions?
I'd be careful.
Just sayin
