I'm pretty pleased with the Progressive Stabilizer. No more mushy in the curves. I have the Wheeldock Center Stand also.

I am curious to see how it looks installed. Can someone please send me a pic or post it. I want to see how it looks bolted onto the frame tube. Thanks.

I'm with you 100% Boxer, same place. And I trust progressive!

Thumbs up Pictures of Installed Progressive Link

There are no ground clearance issues. Two pictures attached.

Installation required removal of right saddlebag, right passenger footboard and loosening up the D&D Fat Cats in order to get the Prog Link installation done. The actual bolting-on of the Prog Link takes less than 20 minutes, followed by reinstallation of all the other stuff. Two hours total.

Thanks Plow for the great pics!!! I have the Fat Cat as well. Did you have to take the whole pipe off from the motor?

I removed the muffler from the endpipe and removed the 4 nuts from both head pipes. There's also a bracket on the underside of the Fatcats that bolts to the frame and has to be removed too. {There is no need to remove the O2 sensor plugs from the head pipes.} Taking all that stuff off lets you shift the head pipes around so you can get access to the frame to remove the existing swingarm mount and replace with the new Touring Link frame mount. There's no need to completely remove the head pipes, at least not on an 07 Street Glide.

You wouldn't be able to see the chrome unless you were lying on the ground...
