Default Bagger Brace install Review

I installed the Bagger Brace last weekend and just wanted to let anyone who is on the fence about getting a bagger brace from bitchin baggers know my review. At first I was alittle skeptical. Could something like this actually change the ride that much?
It took me about 90 minutes with taking my time, cleaning the bike and drinking a few beers.
After putting on about 500 miles on this week I can honestly say that my bike handles better than ever. No extra vibration at all. I can feel it grip like a sportier bike in the corners. Straight tracking on grooved and worn pavement. No more following lines in the road. The bike feels smoother riding down the road. I have no regrets with this purchase. I bought it used from Brypink (thanks brother) and it is worth every penny. Well worth the price new.

I guess that any stabilizing brace might work just as good. I only tried this one. I believe they sell on the site for about $305+- with shipping. Ride Safe

Hi neighbor, nice job. I've got one from a different manufacturer on my bike, and feel the same way you do. And I agree, they're all about the same, just comes down to personal preference.

I had Ron at Bitchin' Baggers install the Bagger Brace on my bike at his Mesa, AZ shop. I drove the flip out of my SG all along the west coast, including the crazy *** LA area freeways. Last year, my wife and I took our bikes to the Dragon...same thing. It rocks. It's like the damned bike is on rails. You won't be sorry.

HD missed putting a rear link on our bikes.

I have a different stabilizer. You're right, my bike is on rails. I ride 2up loaded most of the time and I stay right with my friends who ride solo.
