Actually, I'm kicking around the idea of wether or not it may be applicable to my 08 Ultra. or if they make something similar for Ultra's.

There is certainly no space to get one of those in behind the trans! They look like a solution in search of a problem! The rubber mounts do a fine job IMHO and the fact the stabilizers are solid metal doesn't affect smooth running.

That be them, thank you. I see they don't list them FLH models. So much for that idea.
