Default Glide- Pro strikes again !!

2004 Road King with 30k. Had no ugly wobble rear it's ugly head on this bike whatsoever no matter how I tried to make it !!

Previous use of Glide- Pro has ALWAYS left me and my friends very happy so I went ahead installed on this one. Fix the root cause of one of the issues instead of a band aid missing link over the problem.

As usual the additional vibration had me freaking out that I effed up the install but again as usual after a few miles it settled right in to nice and smooth.
Again as usual there is a nice improvement in the feeling of the bike, feels firmer and more precise.

I have always checked the bikes over to ensure all is in spec especially on wobblers prior to install of the Glide-Pro.


Now I really notice the crappy upper triple trees !! Pew !!

Time to start saving for new trees and tubes.

Thanks again Jake !! Great product that performs as advertised !!

Let me get this straight. You have a bike that didn't wobble or vibrate.. You added a glidepro and while it did vibrate for a while it stopped and still didn't wobble.. So essentially you you spent 400 bucks and got the same thing..

Am I missing something?

sounds like the OP had good results using the Glide Pro on a previous bike, so he installed another one on his current bike?

Ahh, see it now.. So no wobble but it cured a bobble?

Just curious.. At what speeds was the increase in handling performance noticed??

No, just written by an idiot = me !.

Current bike never wobbled.

Have installed Glide-Pro on several bikes in the past.

The Glide-Pro can induce some vibration until is gets a few miles.

Although bike had no issues it is still improved with a much improved feeling in handling department.

Whatever I spent was worth it as this bike is not the same, it is much improved. As usual in my limited experience.
