I got the Touring model QR windshield that was a little wider and than REALLY made a difference. I still get shaking, but not nearly as bad. I think with this gizmo, it might just make them as close to vibration free as the bike will ever get.
I'm interested in practical experience. Let me know when you've ridden with them. Might be something I want.

Will do... but it's going to be awhile before I get back to you. Have to order them first then make arrangements to get it to my HD dealer for the install. We aren't qualified to do any wrenching on our bikes, so we usually have stuff installed during the winter months when they're in storage. In Michigan, if we get 5 months in of riding, we're lucky......so we try not to have any down time during the summer months. However, Hubby's getting new rubber front and rear put on in July before we go on a 1600 mile trip, so I'll probably have the gizmo's installed then. Anyway, I'll let you know.
Anyone ever tried to remove their vibranators? I know it sounds kind of weird. I have a new set of bars to install and I want to remove the vibranators from my old bars. I loosened up the allen head bolt in the end of the vibranator but it still isn't sliding out. At this point I can't loosen any more, I turn the bolt but it isn't loosening and if I try to tighten it, nothing happens. I would hate to have to cut the damn bars to get it out. I tried spraying some lubricant into the end.
