Default bagger brace or TWR

I am thinking on installing a stabilizer on my 07 RKC and wanted to know which stabilizer is better.

I have a Wheeldock center stand so If I ever get one it will be the TWR.

I would say that if you ever want the option of a center stand the TWR is a clear choice. Once you have had a center stand you would not want to go back.

I put a Bagger Brace on and love the handling. It took about 30 minutes to install. I can not talk about any other I just really like the Bagger Brace and the service that that company offers.

Do a search for "TWR" and "Bagger Brace"and you'll find more than enough info. I have the Bagger Brace and think it's fantastic.

There is another string somewhere on HDF on this same topic which lists several alternative brands of brace. I have a TrueTrack Tracula on my old FLHS and my wife's Dyna.

Whichever make you chose you will be mighty impressive in the improved ride!

I Just ordered a Bagger Brace today...folks at the shop seem really nice and customer oriented. I've heard nothing but good things about the product.

I am going to get the TWR Missing Link. I like that and the Ride Str8 systems the best.

I do have a quick question for the guys who have install any type of stabilizer on their late model bagger.

Where I am from there aint too many canyons to go carving up, but I do like to go a bit heavy of the throttle on the highways. I have noticed a sort of light feeling to my StreetGlide.....sort of like its riding on rain grooves or like the feeling you get when your starting to get a flat in the rear tire. Will the TWR get rid of this? I think I will also switch over to the Metzeler ME880's over the Winter, but I do not think a tire change will cure the problem....thats why I will be dumping $350 on the TWR if I am quite sure it will do a acceptable job of curing the wobble.
