Cool Bagger Brace report

Well, after two years decided to put on a BB. Have never experienced the wobble, but the wife bought it so I put it on and went for a 3 hour ride on roads that were nothing but sweepers and hairpin turns. It ran like it was on rails. am now convinced it is a good addition,especially two up. Thanks for all the info.

The clue is in the title! Looks like a bagger brace brand. There are around a dozen brands of these things, so take your pick!

I ordered the Progressive touring link, from what I've read they all work, and all do the job, mine should be here today, tracking says "Out for delivery", I got if off of Amazon for $143.00 came to just over $150.00 with shipping, normaly $199.00 + shipping, I will let you know how it works once I have it on, that is priority one for today!!

The Progressive Touring Link is about the best as far as minimal mounting goes. It uses a replacement right side swingarm pivot cover with a bracket that bolts up to the trans pan with a short ball end link to connect. Does not interfere with ground clearance or have a huge bracket that goes on under the trans and crossmember.
