I have the Progressive link on my 08 RK.
It does make a difference and I am sure works just as well as all the competitors that utilize a similar approach to mitigating the problem.
And for me, although the difference it makes is noticable, I have to say I am just a little disappointed that there is still a little bit of a queasy wobble that seems to show up in fast sweepers from about 80mph on up.
And although I don't usually ride that hard there are times when I like to let her run. And that is when I kind of wish I had saved the 200 bucks and gone with a Glidepro kits front and rear to resolve the problem at the source.
If you never get over 80 in the corners you will probably love the Progressive as it will work just fine at those speeds.

Progressive
I have the progressive as well and definately worth the money. It stiffened the rear up, especially feel on turns. It does not interfere with any Jack as it is way out of the way and up under the lower frame.
There may be other that cost more, but I would bet they all do about the same job in preventing wobble.
