Got an 08 SG and put the Bagger Brace on this past year. Noticed a difference in handleing right away. I think that all the products will give you good results. After some research I liked the way the BB was designed and the ease it went on the bike. I would do the same again.

I got the throttle up brace and it has been worth every penny

I run a brace made by one of the guys on this forum.It really helps.I also have read a article stating that most of the bikes with 25,000 miles should have the engine mounts changed.

Bagger Brace as well, qaulity is top notch and anodized black is unseen, performance is the biggest plus bought 3 1 for my s/g and my buds s/g and r/k wouldnt look at anything else.

I got the progressive link on my 08 RK and it helped in the sweeping curves at speed. I went this route to keep the dogbone free for the future center stand I want to put on.

This debate will rage for years, which is the best stabilizer. As someone already said, many different styles, all do basically the same thing. I went with the Bagger Brace for its amazing machining and incredible tolerances, its just overall well made and does exactly what its supposed to. I have noticed a tremendous difference since installing it. They are fairly easy to install (i actually installed mine mainly in the dark during a power outage), and teh guys at Bitchin Baggers (Phoenix Customs) were a breeze to work with!

Sta-Bo bushings and Bagger Brace finally reduced rear wheel instability in curves and on rain grooved/rough surfaces. Hoping a new E3 tire will take care of it once and for all. (problem didn't exist until I put a Michelin commander on the rear)

I run the throttle-up stabilizer. Works as good as any. Combine a brace of any brand with Dunlop Elite 3's and then you got something. It won't even feel like you are riding the same bike. Good tires make all the difference. The stock dunlops are not even close to "good tires".

+1 and Amen to that. I'm amazed at how much of a difference the E3'a made. The Ohlins completed the package.
