Chasis stabilizer for REAR STEER???
Sorry if this has been covered before. Looking for what brand of rear chassis stabilizer you guys are using, cost, and ease of installation? Been hearing about this "so called" wobble for years. Never experienced it on my 05 RK, but had an "almost chit myself" moment on the 08 SG on the highway this past fall. Actually felt like the rear axle broke, or tire flew off, and it took a while on the side of I-75 before I could get up the nerve to get back on. Anyway, if any of you are using them, how do you like it? What brand, cost and install suggestons are greatly appreciated.

Just installed Progressive Suspension Touring Link a couple of weeks ago. It cost about $232 including tax. Haven't had the chance to ride much since it was installed. But so far, I like the way the bike feels with what little riding I've done.

There's lots of posts about the pros and cons of different brands of stablizers here.
Myself, I have the Bagger Brace, and there are many others on this forum that do also.
I liked the way it was designed, and was impressed with their quality of work.
It was easy to install, and it fit like a glove. Best of all, it works. My bike has a solid feeling to it now, and handles better.
It can an be bought for less then $300.00, in either silver, or black.
Do a search on the web, for Bagger Brace, to see some pictures, and their sales pitch,
or maybe someone else here can give you a link to their web page.

I did a write-up on the Ride Str8 here. There are others using the same design, the TWR being one. Be advised that the price has come down considerably since that time, mostly I assume due to increased completition. In July 2007 there were only 3-4 designs available each with a different approach, but nowadays there must be 10 to choose from costing as little as $199. The result is impressive and worth the money, IMO.
