Progressive Suspension Stabilizer

Has anyone tried the Progressive Suspension Stabilizer? I was looking into stabilizers and see that PS has the most cost effective one.

Put it on my 06 Road King about a month ago. I probably have about 500 miles with it on and I like it. I haven't tried any of the other stabilizers, so I have nothing to compare it in that respect. I have noticed my bike tracks better through turns and feels more responsive when I change my line through a curve or sharp turn.

The install took a little over an hour and was quite simple...I am more than satisfied with it.

I put one on recently, have a couple hundred miles with it. It does work, but shakes the fair mirrors at certain rpm's. It does what its supposed to, I never thought of the vibration, but thats a small price to pay. If I had it to do over again, I would just change the swing arm bushings to the new ones I read about on here. Can't remember the name of the bushings.

I installed mine today. Not enough miles yet to offer much of an opinion. Seems more stable in curves, also noticed a minor increase in vibration. Easy install.

I have the Sta-Bo bushings in my 05 Road King. Got them direct from Sta-Bo. I instlled both the bushings and their heavy duty front motor mount. Was about $150 for both. Ordered them on a Tuesday, had them on Thursday. I liked them because they work on the problem at the source. Might be a little more vibration, but well worth the tighter feel to the rear end. I don't get the little wag I used to get when the rear suspension loads and unloads. I had the Wheel dock EZUp center stand so the dog bone stabilizers would not work for me.
