How Many Miles On Your Bagger Brace
It seems like most people encounter immediate satisfactory results after installing some type of bagger brace (if they had the wobble issue). I was just curious for those who have installed one of any type (since their seems to be a few), if the reinforcement from the brace has caused any issues with their scoot several mile down the road.

There are around a dozen brands of these devices, of which the bagger-brace is one. I have a True-Track on my Glide and it transformed it, although I have added other handling improvements as well. I've done about 12k miles and I don't ever expect to take it off - it is the only way to travel! I also have a TT kit on my Dyna and that also is greatly improved.

A friend of mine had 200-300 miles on the Bagger Brace. He had the fairing brackets to break and he replaced them. After replacing the brackets the bike developed a terrible vibration around 2000 rpm's. He thought it might be the front engine mount so he replaced it. Still had the vibration. Service manager at local dealer said the it was his front tire. He replaced both tires with E3's and still had the vibration. He disconnected the heim joint from the Bagger Brace and no more vibration. He is now trying to sell it.
