The one that is the easiest to install,or the least expensive, they all do the same thing or so I hear.I have two versions of the StaBo system,which simply stiffen the suspension bushings.Neither bike wags their tails at any speed.

We've literally sold hundreds of the Progressive model and only one person that I can think of that has ever complained and he was on his second or third brand. That speaks volumes imho.

Go with glide-pro yes it's little more expensive but it tackles the problem right at the source. All those other ones that bolt up to your tranny are just band aids. Give Jake a call at Glide-pro.com 1-619-449-6251 and talk to him before you make a decision you got nothing to lose but a little time. Trust me it will be worth it. You have a very expensive bike do it right the first time.

I had the bagger brace for 8 K and it wasn't doing it for me. I now have Glide-Pro front mount and rear bushing. Best thing I have done on my 08 SG thus far.

I was never much of a believer in any of these and didn't feel the need because I had never experienced the dreaded wobble. But after owning an 09 and then going back to an 08 I find myself riding a helluva lot more aggressively in the turns. Now I feel it. Gonna give the Progressive a try eventually.

But before spending money, make sure your head bearings are good and tightened up right.

I use a bagger brace on my 08 ultra. Just remember, any stabilizer WILL increase vibration at idle and low speed.

Default the "wobble"

Just got back from a week touring the Pyrenees and experienced the wobble at 85 on a long left hander, it felt like the bike was bending in the middle. My buddy following on his Triumph sports bike said it looked very dramatic from behind, dunno what the car drivers thought as i passed them. Never had any sign of it when i was chasing my buddies up and down the mountains, it was hard work finding enough road on some of the hairpin bends with the boards scraping but they didnt leave me far behind. I dont know what kit is available in the UK, it will have something fitted thats for sure.

Regards ,Roger

07 FLHT, with ground down boards.
