Have been looking for a swing arm brace for my 1999 Road King. Was surprised to see that there was more than two that saw recently. Quite like the Bagger brace, Anyone tried it?

 

Hello old chap, from just up the road! There are around a dozen brands of 'stabilizers' that claim to address the underlying problem you indirectly refer to. Read my thread on 'bagger wobble' for some background reading. Many of the kits are clones of the True-Track, which I currently have on my 1990 Glide, which greatly improves handling and steering. Note my comments about ensuring your bike is in tip-top shape, before adding any stabilizer.

 

Thanks old bean , I will give it a look.

 

CHeck this one out. Since your '99 has the sidecar mounting nut on the bottom right rear of the frame. Very simple, out of the way (and less expensive) compared to most. Had one for a couple years now on my '01.

Razorback your a genius, for that money I will take a chance and buy one. This item states that the centre stand can still operate, something I only just considered today and I am sure many Stabilizers get in the way of the Stand.
Thanks again.

 

Hey there from up north, read the post and found it very useful information, thanks for the link. You put a lot of effort into it and it shows from the replies.
I have gone and bought the one on ebay that Razorback ping'd me mainly because I have a centre stand and I see that some get in the way of it.
Also the price but at least its workable if the thing fails to work afficiently.
My bike at the moment is tight around the swing arm but want to stay that way. Still looking at the swing arm upgrade as well and may get the aftermarket bushes, if I knew the material, I can machine some up!

 

Glad I could help. I added the link a couple years ago and was set on some bushings as well, but after upgrading rear shocks and fork cartridges last fall, the thing feels like a new bike. Maybe next tire change install a Sta-Bo bushing kit. The wallowing suspension was most of the problem.

 

Interesting, what did you upgrade to as a matter of interest?

 

Brands that make them use 'Delrin', if that helps! It can be purchased over here.

 

Progressive 444's (didn't want lowering) and their fork cartridge kit. No more air assist. No wallowing rear and diving front. Night and Day difference.
