Default RE: Stablizer???

There have been a few threads on this issue over the last couple months, but its a little confusing as to whether one of these is needed, or will do much good on an 08? Is it true that HD fixed the problem and a stabilizer is less of a need on the new models?

The bushings make the most sense to me, although I have heard they intensify the vibration. Have you experienced this?

Just put the sta-bo system on my RK. Incredible difference.

OK now I'm hearing more about a vibration with the Sta-Bo. Is this true? What type and how bad?

Glide Pro is also a good one......they all increase vibration.I would say stick with Glide Pro or sta bo. it stiffins up the swingarm and the rear suspension works better..after installation you willhave remove air from the shocks
