Xcellent !!!
Thanks for this Xcellent infomation....!!
running an 05 RK and love the way it rides, but we are very aggressive with it too ...installed the Bagger Brace in the rear years ago ...but still have just a slight wobble in turns only if there's a dip or bump while leaned over ...
will be looking at this FIX for sure ...Thanks again for this info !!!

I notice the rod ends you have posted have a Nylon/PTFE Plastic Blend Insert or the other one has a PTFE Plastic Liner. How will those hold up to the heat?
I have a 2004 Road King and I am trying to tighten everything up by rebuilding my swing arm right now. I installed Aurora Bearings and new steel bushings as well as the Sta-bul disc kit and the Drag Specialties Swing arm Isolator Mounts. I am also replacing my front motor mount with a Glide Pro one.
So after reading this, it sounds like that is something else I should do.
Thanks

The stuff I bought came from ECNO IIRC Now MSCDirect.. I taking a guess on the what would be a good rod end. I'd give them a try. Don't have an invoice. If you look the HD nut and rod, it works. Or at least it should. If you look at the one I used, it is actually a Sputhe setup for the rear of a dyna. It uses mail threaded rod ends and a double threaded nut.

BTW, I'll guarantee you that these mounts won't last like the stock ones but should be usable for a range of time. The links are pretty much the same as ones use for the Bagger and Dyna braces. They should be checked periodically.
