Default Bagger Brace installed today

The unit came in Friday and due to weather finally got it installed today. It is high quality,good looking and a neat fit. I put it on my '06 Ultra. The cross member had a upwards bow in it that had to be straightened and then the unit fit like a glove. The test ride was great. I rode around 30 miles to try it out. The bike is noticably more stable in turns and the tar snakes on the road near me are now unnoticeable. I cannot notice any additional vibration transferred through the frame. That was my # 1 concern. Nothing on the unit is below the cross member. Very good design,great looking and highly recommended if your looking for a brace!!

Roll on!

I installed my Bagger Brace on Christmas day. Santa brought it to me. First real test was Friday, rode to Crystal River Harley about 260 miles round trip and the improvement in ride was great. The groves in the road don't push the bike around anymore and the tar snakes are way less noticable and no added vibration at all.

I put mine on just before the snow started falling.............haven't been able to ride the bike at all.

Once spring comes I'm hoping to be impressed with the results.

Put mine on a month ago, and have been able to log about 200 miles... the weather here has been frightful... no chance of some good long trips and appropriate testing. It looks nice, made well; but I can't say definitively if it REALLY helps. I'll let you know in the Spring.... Come Quickly MARCH!
