Default Road King Stabilizer

Is there any option to add a rear stabilizer like the progressive stabilizer link to an 05 road king with s&s true duals. The ones I see bolt to the transmission pan where my exhaust is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think Alloy Art will work. Is the instability new? If so, have you checked your front engine mount (they have a tendency to shear in half like a sliced bagel)? Tires? Steering head? If it's new, adding some sort of stabilizer will only mask the problem, not solve it.

its a new problem, I had a rear tire blow out at 70 mph, road it to the side of the road. So that being said, new tires front and back as long as new wheel bearings. Feels like the front end isn't biting the road, and feel a wiggle like the wind is blowing me sideways. Also new fork oil was done after as well.

That front link from the factory has rubber biscuits in it and if you add an Alloy Art link in the back, get proper heim joints for the front link.

Take a look at the Mad dog mount from Custom Cyle Engineering as an alternative.

There was a post on here from a few years ago where someone took the Progressive link and modified the trans mount to work with the S&S Power Tune Duals. There were even pics of the modification. Didn't look too difficult to do.
