Default Sta-Bo Stabilizer Bushing Istallation Questions?

Anyone out there who has put these on their bike. The new Blue urethane ones. How hard a job was it? Did you have to take off the pipes or just loosen them up and move them some? Any new vibrations? Seem to tighten the bike up? Had you used other stabilizers with links or was this your first? Any other information to give? I'm looking at putting them on my 2005 Road King FLHRCI. THANKS!!!!!!!

I have a pair for sale if you are interested in trying them out. They are not blue though. Do they have a newer design out? I thought they worked pretty well. They did transfer a bit of vibration to the floorboards, but not enough to be concerned about. I took them out when I got rid of my duals for a 2-1 pipe and never put them back in. I thought I would try one of the stabilizers to compare but still haven't purchased one. I paid $100 dollars for the pair and will send them to you for $50 shipped if interested..... They have around 500 miles on them....

Gliderman, the white ones are a plastic called delrin, and did transfer some vibration. The new ones are urethane, like the glide pro, only alot less money. Did you have to remove your stock pipes when you installed them the first time, or just loosen them to get at the bottom bolt on the right side swing arm plate? Thanks!!
