Default question about rear stabilizer.
For those of you that have installed a rear stabilizer, did it increase the vibration of the bike? I'm thinking of installing one, however I would like to keep the smooth ride. Just looking for some info.

I have just installed a bagger brace and have done about 2000km (1200miles) it has added no vibration to the bike and it has helped with the wobble as well.

I had the TWR stabilizer on my 03 road king classic and can't say that I remember there being any more vibration.

I have never had one customer complain about added vibration, so my answer would be no.

I've got the TWR Missing Link on my '06 RK, and do not notice any more vibration. Very happy with the product.
