Vibrations and Stabilizer?
I am about ready to pull the trigger on a Stabilizer.
I have read many post on the handling benefits and the way it tightens up the ride and I am sold that it is a good idea.
On a few post some folks said they could feel more vibrations, but they didn't really go into any detail about it.
For those of you that have them how much more vibrations do you notice?
Do you feel it at cruise speed or just at idle?
Or do you not feel any difference at all.
Thanks for the info

I had the TWR installed on my '02 RK (incl. the required bushing change) and truthfully, didn't notice any increase in vibration whatsoever. What I did notice is an improvement in the way the bike handles now.

TWR. Honestly, I felt the difference in vibration immediately. A *very* slight increase in vertical vibration that didn't bother me, & after about 10/15 minutes of riding made me feel like the bike was more "integrated". Yes, I could feel the motor more, but it felt like it was all part of one machine rather than two machines trying to get to the same place via slightly different routes. After several months with the TWR, I'd have to take it off to notice any vibration or lack thereof. Basically, not an issue............

No vibration noticed on mine. Don't let that worry stop you from getting one. There are several good kit available including the one I got. There's also some good threads on how to install if you search.
