Progressive Touring Link
I have been reading about Progressives touring link for 1993 to 2008 touring Harley's. Stops the dreaded wobble. Has anyone tried one and what did they think. Sure looks easy enough to install and price is right. Any down side. Do you get more vibration. They say not. Thanks

The Touring Link does what they claim, i.e., 'tightens' up the swingarm. In certain extreme situations, e.g., in a downhill sweeper at 80+ on the freeway, a stiff cross-wind blowing, surrounded by other cars causing the air to churn, you can still feel a slight tendency for the bike to want to slowly 'snake' down the road. But it's just the slightest feel. In any other case, i.e., 'normal' operations, the Touring Link eliminates the rear-end steering that's to blame for the tendency to 'wobble' in the turns. One thing--make sure you're drive-train is aligned prior to installation.

Felt the loose back end and just lived with it. After around 25k miles I got one. They work. Wish I had done it sooner. E-bay has them cheap brand new.

I've been hearing so much about these so I just pulled the trigger and ordered the progressive. My first harley was an 07', last year I had an 09' that I really didn't notice much difference until I sold it and got another 07' - now I feel the difference! I hope this tightens up the rear end.
