It seems that some people experience more vibration and some don't. It's weird. My friend says that he still has some vibration but nothing like it was. He said that at 2000 rpm's it was unbearable.

I just put mine on yesterday, only 20 miles on my 08 SG (Progressive Suspension Link). Initial impression is that the bike feels more solid when running over uneven road like dips and some ruts. No increase in vibration.

I also changed out my rear brake pads which was worn to min spec and squealing like a wild pig since new. I went with HD pads ($54) that came with the tube of anti squeal paste and a new pin no squeals as of yet.

I installed the bagger brace this winter on my '01 Ultra and have put about 250 miles on it. Ridden two-up on backroads and secondary highways, lots of curves, and so far no problem. Will know more after the June Smokie Mountain trip.

I don't remember when I put mine on but I'm very happy with it. I took the RK on the freeway Monday and the bike was as solid and as stable as a rock.

I've had my Ride-Str8 installed for almost three years and 27k miles. No problems at all except some minor rust on the attachment bolts, but that wipes away easily enough.

I installed the Touring Stablrizer, by Throttle- Up Industry over 10,000 miles ago. Best money I ever spent on the Ulrta.

6,000 on my TWR. It's not coming off. I experienced a little more vibration feel when I first put on. You get used to it. Good trade-off for not wallowing through curves.

12,000 miles on my bagger brace. No regrets, no negative side affects.
