Don't have one and unless it was power-coated black, I wouldn't consider one unless it blended better with the frame. The reality is that I don't really feel I need one on my 2010.

I'm thinking of getting this: http://www.true-track.com/ mainly as a preventative measure as I really never want to experience "bagger wobble".

product looks good but would definitely get in the way of the jack unless placed just right. i would recommend the Progressive Touring Link. mine had significant bagger wobble and even though it made it almost completely go away,(other part of wobble being induced by shocks i think), the bike now feels like you couldnt pull it off the road.

It looks well made. But I've never heard of or seen any indication of frame tube flexing in that area that needs bracing. Which makes me suspect this is a solution in search of a problem.

I've got a Throttle-up stabilizer on mine. It works, the quality is good, and it blends into the bike well. $149 bucks & free shipping. I had a couple of scary incidents before I put the brace on, none since.
