I have both glide pro front and rear and a bagger brace, a little more vibration up front at idle
How did you torque the front mount? Had the issue on my 07, called Jake he said loosen the center bolt, rev it to 3k a few times, shut the motor off, torque to 9-12 FP. Low and behold no more vibe and that was 30k ago.
I found that Glide Pros front and rear mounts along with a good drivetrain alignment and the proper steering head fall away is all it takes. Bike handles very well.
I have the true track on my 04' road king and it made a huge difference! I still get the smallest bit of wobble every now and again. I've been looking into the glide pro or stay bo swingarm bushings, any thoughts on what would be the best set up?
I have never used a bagger brace so I cant speak for how well they work but they don't address the big problem that the Glide Pro system corrects. The stock Harley donuts are junk and the tolerances are sloppy. The attached picture is of the stock Harley donuts on the rear motor mount of my sons 06 Road King after only 35K miles. Worn right through to the metal leaving nothing to isolate the motor from the frame. My 08 Road King looked the same but had about 50K when I installed the Glide Pro system.
Both bikes handle well and have never experienced any wobble.
