Was looking at Rear Shocks from Progressive and noticed they make a Stabilizer (Touring Link) for bikes up to '13 model year. Kinda surprised me that they offered this for the 09-up bikes with the better frames.

Anyone put one of these on a 09-up bike? Did you notice any difference?


Thanks

 

The better frames are only that - they're not perfect! The front and rear rubber mounts are not supported by a lateral link, so like the previous design have a degree of wobble, if not as bad as before.

 

I have one on 13 FLTRU. I wanted to get rid of more money in Sturgis, so what the heck. I'd say the difference is subtle at best. I wasn't looking for much though. grbrown's take is that is that if nothing else, a true track on an 09-up bike relieves stress on the rubber motor mounts, I'm good with that.

Prior to that I put on Progressive Monotubes, now that was a big difference. Maybe not as good as more expensive and technically sophisticated options, but a big improvement.

 

Thanks guys, I was afraid you were gonna tell me it was worth it, time to get out the wallet ;(


Looks like this is gonna be the year for suspension upgrades for me, was just gonna do the rear, but now I'm leaning towards the fronts also, along with this Link from Progressive.

 

True Trak is the better option.
