Default Which Rear Suspension Stabilizer?

Its time to correct the rearsteer/wobble on my '00 Ultra. I'm still a newbe and perhaps this has been discussed before me being here but I dont want to buy one that doesn't work well. What stabilizing devices are working the best for rear end wiggling? Any input would help me huge.

Been discussed a gazillion times. But here is a little tip. Seems the two most popular as of late are the Progressive and the one available through forum sponsor Throttle-Up. Two completely different designs but they are the two basic designs of all of them out there. Those two are just alot less expensive.

Thanks for the tip...kinda figured this was old news but I thought I'd throw it out there anyway. I'll check out the two you mentioned.

I have a Tru Track on my RG and it works fine. The BEST one however is the new touring chassis on the '09 and '10 bikes. Yea, they're that good.

I just ordered a Progressive link from eBay for $141 with free shipping. Best price I could find. You can do some searches on the forum and find decent reviews on most of the different brands. It sounds like they all do the job, just some cost A LOT more than others.

Cool, this is the info I was hoping for. I will give the bushings a good eye and replace them if necessary or maybe I'll just do it to say I did it but I am still going with a stabilizer. It's good to know what guys are happy with before shelling out the $. Thanks for the response, this really helps. Sorry if I've rethreaded a tired issue.
