T.w.r. Stabilizer - special group buy price
 

Thinking about getting this for my bike. I have experienced the dreaded wobble a couple times so far this year. Although not severe, it was enough for me to consider spending the money.

Here is a link to the unit:

RE: T.W.R. Missing link . . . anyone???
 

Hey officer . . . I did a search. Did you? Not much on this forum about it. I don't want to read about all the other stabilizers out there. JUST THIS ONE!!

Here is another link of interest . . .

Yep...sure did......call Bart @ Cateye Customs he'll give ya the straight scoop


Bart claims this one is the easiest and the best http://www.grandeurcycle.com/site.htm

RE: T.W.R. Missing link . . . anyone???
 

LOL . . . So you're going to make me work for it. :D

No phone #, or web address?, or email address?

Can you give me a hint about what he's going to say?

RE: T.W.R. Missing link . . . anyone???
 

Hold on..be right back


Back :) here's what he told me...


I dont have any pics, brother, but I am selling a new one....that I am convinced is the best one. It's called the missing link and it's from Grandeur Cycles. It is by far the easist to install, and cheaper. I can sell you the missing link for 335.00 to your door. If you dont like it for any reason, just ship it back. I have the Ride-Str8 in stock as well.

you can see the missing link at www.grandeurcycle.com


Let me know what you think.

Steve,

I would like you to fill your head with knowledge on this subject, master the install on your Bike & then come help me install mine :D

RE: T.W.R. Missing link . . . anyone???
 

Greg,

I guess I'm just a born researcher. I want to know as much as possible about something . . .

and then I want to hear some "real world" experience from others BEFORE I jump myself. I'm no expert . . . I want to hear from some.

I'll be glad to buy one and install it first . . .

RE: T.W.R. Missing link . . . anyone???
 

I purchased one and installed it just last week. I bought it because of all the stabilizers I have seen this one looked the best and it is made of6061 billet aluminum. It was also cheaper than two others of a similar design that I found also. I am very satisfied with the quality and you barley notice it on the bike.

RE: T.W.R. Missing link . . . anyone???
 

Every time I seem to do this whole "research" thing, it ends up costing me a lot of money. Oh well, bad habits are hard to break[&o]

RE: T.W.R. Missing link . . . anyone???
 

Roadhog02... Did you need to remove your exhaust to do the install?

Thanks,
Greg

RE: T.W.R. Missing link . . . anyone???
 

I have one, but I'm not going to be much help for a few days. I'm sittin' in front of the computer workin' on the first drink of the evening after installin' the link & an oil temp. gauge. I haven't had a chance to ride it yet, in fact the fairing is still off. I have a wiring change to make on my garage door opener.

What I can tell you is that the seller is a stand-up guy. UPS lied about delivery & the seller got on the problem imediately. The parts are beautifuly finished, & fit is excellent. Droppin' the exhaust for one bolt is a PITA, but that ain't his fault.

RE: T.W.R. Missing link . . . anyone???
 

I have the TWR missing link
It has tighen the bike up I do get more vibration but your going to get it with all of them tie the motor to the frame.
Yes you need to remove the exhaust the bottom bolt is counter sunk and you need to use a socket to tighten

Before I installed the TWR I could wiggle the bars and it would feel like the frame wiggled, now it soild the way it should be

RE: T.W.R. Missing link . . . anyone???
 

I have this unit and it took me about twenty minutes to install. My Thunderheader was not in the way. Not much riding yet, but so far so good.

RE: T.W.R. Missing link . . . anyone???
 

I had to unbolt the rear bracket and loosen both header bolts in order to get the to the bottom bolt. You don't need to move it out very much to get a rachet on it. Really simple installation overall.

Your Avatar is making me lean to the left. Not cool during an election year. Here's one on the right to bring balance.

RE: T.W.R. Missing link . . . anyone???
 

Thanks to everyone who posted on this thread. Based on everything I've read on this forum and the CVO forum, I believe this is the best choice for me.

Here are my reasons.

#1 - The design does not interfere with my Wheeldock center stand.
#2 - The design does not require a bracket surrounding the entire transmission pan.
#3 - Looks like a fairly simple install.
#4 - The parts look to be very well made.
#5 - Price is better than many other units available.
#6 - The seller has nearly 1000 positive feedbacks on Ebay. PLUS . . .I love EBAY!
#7 - Lastly, everyone I can find who has installed it seems happy with the install and the results.

OK . . . this is my story and I'm stickn' to it! :D

RE: T.W.R. Missing link . . . anyone???
 

Well, once again.. I thought I was done with my Bike for a while, but Noooo I had to find something else I just can't seem to live without.[:@]

RE: T.W.R. Missing link . . . anyone???
 

I sent an email to T.W.R. asking him to look at this thread. I'm interested to hear back from him.

Maybe . . . just maybe . . he'll offer us a group buy deal. HINT HINT.

Regardless, I'm 90% sure I'll buy one within the next month.

BTW, GREG . . . You and i both know that we'll never be done messing with out bikes . . . Slow down, yes . . . stop, never.

RE: T.W.R. Missing link . . . anyone???
 

This time I seriously thought I was LOL..... Guess I should know better:eek:

RE: T.W.R. Missing link . . . anyone???
 

Hmmmm...I email'd Bart (Shooter64) 6 days ago for a price on a D&D FatCat. No reply yet.

As for the Alloy Art TWR Stabilizer, I can't say if it's better/worse than any of the others because I haven't installed mine yet.
But I can say, I'm certainly glad I bought this brand because I've ordered the Baker +1 Oil Pan and if you look at Baker's site, this pan is setup to accept the Alloy Art stabilizer.

To the guy that's ordering from American Classic...I ordered mine from them. At the time I ordered there was a "Best Offer" on it. I sent him an offer of $300 for the Polished version. I can't remember exactly what I paid for it, but I recall getting it for about $50 less than his Ebay Buy-It-Now price. Moral of the story, send him an outlandish offer, he'll counter with a better price than he has listed.

RE: T.W.R. Missing link . . . anyone???
 

Did someone say "group buy"??? I'd be in for that!

RE: T.W.R. Missing link . . . anyone???
 

I plan on calling Tracy Monday to see what he can do for me and if he is wiling to set up a group buy.

If you are interested in a group buy . . . please post here. That way I can give him a number. Thanks

RE: T.W.R. Missing link . . . anyone???
 

I got one off e-bay from the missing link guy, very happy with mine, this was before he started making the Alum ver. he has now. I was changing out my stock exhaust for the fatcat I had gotten so that wasn't much of a problem for me. I didn't notice any extra vibes on my road glide after the change over but it sure tightened my Glide up big time, feels solid as a rock now! ;)I think I made him a offer and got mine for just over $200 but this was the older ver. the new one really looks sweet I think :)Ohyeah it worked great with the Rivco centerstand I was installing too, that was a buying consideration for a stabilizer on my part. ;)

RE: T.W.R. Missing link . . . anyone???
 

That's two of us . . . so far . . .

RE: T.W.R. Missing link . . . anyone???
 

+1 on the group buy!

RE: T.W.R. Missing link . . . anyone???
 

I noticed reading the link provided from the one available from "Bart", is that one has some sort of shock absorber built into it to lessen any vibration. It looks like it mounts about the same.

Question: Has anyone had any problems with oil leaks after removing bolts from just one side of the tranny pan, putting on this unit, and retorqueing the bolts? It seems to me that could be agood way to warp a pan?

RE: T.W.R. Missing link . . . anyone???
 

Thats . . . 3!

BTW, Tracy is watching this thread . . . Hi Tracy. :D

RE: T.W.R. Missing link . . . anyone???

RE: T.W.R. Missing link . . . anyone???

We're up to 5!

I'd like to give Tracy an order for 10 if possible.

Can we do it?! . . .

RE: T.W.R. Missing link . . . anyone???
 

Because you only remove bolts from one side there is NO warpage possible. No leaks, no worries. You guys are several weeks too late to help me with this group buy.

RE: T.W.R. Missing link . . . anyone???
 

1+ get it cheap...I'M N

RE: T.W.R. Missing link . . . anyone???
 

6 . . . 4 to go.

As soon as we reach 10, I'll call and see what kind of a price Tyler will give us as a group.

Keep an eye on this thread!
