I am really anxious to hear what you think of this kit. Please do us all a huge favor and contribute to the review thread with your install experience and your ride experience. So many people here on this forum listen when you talk. Thanks!

Hey all,just stumbled by this post, last July mama bought us a RKC, and we love it, anyway I have noticed exactly what you guys and gals are talking about, best i can describe it is, like riding across one of those steel draw bridges with the grates on it,its just an uneasy feeling,like hydroplaning but your not. I tell you I think Im going to try one on my bike if it worked for all of you Im sure it will do wonders for me. Thx Steve for the research and your time to expose this, and Tracy for the great product at a discount price, lord knows the all mighty dollar is hard to come by these days. I will keep you guys posted thx again. Mike.

You describe the handling issue very well. I know for sure that the kit will cure it for you.
Please let us all know how it works for you.
BTW, all the time and effort I spent was well worth it. Made some great friends in person and online. Who knows, I may have to take the 3000 mile ride out to meet Tracy face to face!

I'm not convinced yet....to be honest I REALLY don't have a problem with the way the bike handles....I've had two touring bikes and have never experienced the wobble people talk about
Maybe when I have an extra $350 to throw around I might try one

RE: MISSING LINK INSTALL AND REVIEW
I installed the stabilizer and I have to say, this thing does indeed work and work very well! I notice it is MUCH tighter in sweepers especially with the wife and tour pack on the back. I have a special near and dear to my heart curve that I tested the TWR on, on my way to work.
The curve is not such a high speed (about 50 MPH) but it is a decreasing radius turn that has a crest with a little whoop in the middle, this was a heart pounding experience two weeks ago! I do have to say this is about the worst curve I have experienced and the "waggle" is all but gone!
I am actually thinking of using the TWR in conjunction with the Sta-Bo bushings, yea I want it to handle like an R1[sm=signs003.gif]
