    Any input on different brands of chassis stabilizers? Looked at some videos of close to very bad wobble, did not look like much fun. I dont ride extremely radical but all at once there is a corner sharper than you expect, ooooohhh crap. Also is there any down side as far as vibration or other issues. Thanks to all

    Also make sure the "fall away" adjustment is correct on your steering stem bearings. This adjustment is critical on Harley baggers

    I never had any wobble at high speeds on any of my baggers. Started owning baggers in 99. However I always did keep my steering head bearings set to Harley specs.

    Did some more homework and see that a good look at neck bearings and bushings in swingarm are sometimes an overlooked potential problem that a brace will help cover. Glide- Pro seems to address the situation that if swingarm bushings are loose with there upgraded bushing kit and front mount are the first step in the right direction inmo. Like there vidio of there products, can really relate to there input and advice on there site.

    I put a True Track on my '04 Electra Glide. I thought it helped keep the back end planted. I put one on the 2012 Limited. some folks say that you don't need one but I figure it can't hurt
