I have a Progressive Touring Link. It works well, except when the rear tire is worn down to about the last 1K miles when the rear-steer (wobble) comes back a little. I had a Tru-Track on a prior Road King. It worked good, too. As I recall, with it the 'wobble' came back some when the rear tire wore down, too. I'm thinking about trying the Glide Pro. My Indy was concerned that it's got polypropylene bushings, he was afraid it'd wear too fast. I haven't ready any reports of such, so next time in the shop I'm going to query him again and maybe make a move toward getting the Glide Pro installed. There's a lot of good press on the system.

Alan, the 'wobble' you got with worn tyres is down to a worn tyre, not the stabilizer! Don't swap brands due to that, simply replace the tyre.

If I did, I would help you my "Biker Brother".
