Stabilizer and solid bushings
Got a great local deal on a Terry's Components stabilizer, wondering if I should still get set of bushings like sta-bo or glide pro? I've only read that most either use one or the other, haven't see both used.

IIRC your bike still uses the original cleve blocks in the swingarm. I use a True-Track kit with their swingarm bushings, can't comment on other brands, but definitely replace your bushings.

I'll be replacing everything in the pivot area, wheel bearing and shocks because the wobble is pretty bad at anything above 65. I'll get them, I'm coming from sport bikes so I'd like to get it as stiff as possible.

I've had my '00 FLTRSEI for awhile now (165,000 miles,) and at 100,000 I changed wheel bearings and motor mount / stabilizers. I used an early model (very stiff, took 500 miles just to break in,) front motor mount and these Nylatron swingarm bushings. (see link.) They tightened up the rear end quite well. Reasonably priced too.

Yes, Nylatron is used in bushings for both cars and trucks as O.E.M. I am currently looking for a good set of shocks but the swing arm is still tight.
