The engine/trans/swingarm/rear wheel are still mounted in rubber. The system is based on the old one, with a better type of front mount, but rubber gives - that is what it is there for!

Buells all have rubber mounts, but also three stabilizers, so the rubbers can't move sideways, but allow the engine to vibrate in the vertical plane. That we we the riders are insulated from the worst vibrations while the bike rides in a straight line.

There is no doubt the later bikes should be better, with their improved rubber mounts, but I am not surprised kits are available to intrude Buell-like stabilizers. All three of my bikes have three stabilizers, two of them courtesy of True-Track.

 

SteveinNKC:
Can you provide us with any updates on the Alloy Art Brace?

Thanks!

 

Well it's been on the bike almost a year now. No problems, no high speed wobble. But I don't push the limits of the bike. Overall I been pleased with the brace.

 

Thanks for the feedback bro!

 

If you are still watching this thread I would be interested as to your stabilizers continued performance? Also did you put it on as preventive medicine or did you have the wobble? Did it improve your bikes handeling overall? Do you feel that the starter housing is structually sound enough when considering the stress that will be placed on the starter and inner primary? Not that I'm sure that there is all that much stress moving between the frame and the starter housing. Thanks Bob

 

I thought the new frames from 09 and up cured all the problems harley had. I was under the impression that the 09 and up bikes were perfect everywhere that all you had to do is sell your junk pre 09 bikes buy one of these and you had the greatest bike in the world and did not have to do anything to it but just ride. Damn i guess i will have to wait another year or so maybe Harley will get it right. You would think in a 110 years they would have it.

 

Rubber mounted drivetrain has only been around for less than 30 years. I never put a stabilizer on my pre 09 junk bike, and my 09 (while not the greatest bike in the world) sure as hell doesnt need one. I havent done anything with it but just ride.



If itll scrape floorboards over 75 and run through sweepers in the triple digits without wobbling thats perfect enough for me

 

Im intrested in this, always a sucker for better handling, although my 10 handles great I can still push it's limits.
