Default Which stabilizer is best

I'm thinking about putting a stabilizer on my 2007 Ultra and want to know what others are using, cost, ease of the installation. In no particular order here are the choices:

I do get a little wiggle while cornering at high speeds or traveling over rough pavement.
I thought it might help.

I'm sold on the Bagger Brace. Why? First, it is machined from a block of aluminum, some others are welded steel. It is stiffer, and cannot flex. Given that they all surround the tranny pan, I like the large mating surface and stiffness. Second, the parts that attach to the crossbrace are designed to also transfer load to the frame. Third, the design is such that you lose NO ground clearance. Fourth, the fit and finish of the entire unit was exceptional, and the hardware was first-class. Everything that bolts in does so from the bottom, and all the bolts are recessed or countersunk - no bolt heads hanging down.

After installing and riding with mine, I recommended it to my father-in-law. We'll be installing his Saturday.....

All of them will improve your ride. I believe the Bagger Brace will do the best job, will outlast the bike, and will not rust. It also won't damage our bikes. It isn't the cheapest nor the most expensive, but I believe it is the best.

I voted TWR. They even make a chrome model for those interested in bling. If you're interested . . . Tracy is always available by email if you have questions. He is a stand-up guy who will give you no BS answers.
