I know several members have done the install lately.

Any reviews? How was the install? How does your bike handle now?

Thanks,
Steve

I posted this already inthe TWR purchase link.

I'm not adding anything that people haven't already figured out, the product works, and works great. I installed the kit last night, and took the bike out this morning. I took it out on a series of U-Turns, sharp turns, high speed turns and the frame felt rock solid. I felt the biggest impact on U-Turns, a feat that always made my bike feel unstable in the rear. I then drove it to work on the interstate, and was blown away. It was a windy day, and my bike was traditionally thrown around like a rag doll. Today it barely budged witheach gusts. I was even able to pass trucks without any wobble. Installation took longer on my bike, a 2002, because I replaced the swingarm bushing to fit this kit. I also had to remove the exhaust.

UPDATE:

Just got back from a 1300 mile ride to the Pacific HDForums Rally in California. It was a ride of a lifetime. More on that in another thread.

Thanks to the TWR Missing Link I was able to ride my bike really hard 2 up in some of the most twisty roads I've ever seen. Not only were we 2 up but we were loaded with all out gear.

Rear tire pressure at 42 + rear shocks at 35 + TWR = ONE AWESOME RIDE!

PM me if you have questions. I'd love to help.

Tracy will get back to you real soon. Think I saw that he is out of town until the 7th. So you like his lower kit???? Wonder if he would do a group buy on that kit here on the forum??? I will ask him.

Just did a 600 mile ride around the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State. Got into some great twisty stuff along the coast. Also made the ride up to Hurricane Ridge.

Bike handles like a champ.

Got into a discussion with a couple guys with new touring bikes about the "HD wobble." They both agreed that they've felt it at times. They were very interested in the stabilizer.
