Hey Bro I actually like it.....the design looks simple yet effective. The holes in the plate is a good idea, but not too many as to compromise the rigidity of the stock.
Aaron....I do have two questions though. First I am curious as to what year bike your riding, and the oil seepage I see at the trans pan/case gasket area.....was that there already, or did it start as a result of changing the bolts?
Oh....and one last question......how much of a difference have you noticed since the install.....anymore of the flat rear tire feeling in the turns, or that wicked wobble you get on the speedy sweepers?
Thanks in advance for your reply!

The oil seepage was there before installing it. It's on a '08 streetglide and it makes it feel very tight when cornering and just weaving around town you notice a significant difference also. I came off of sportbikes and this makes the bike handle a lot better than stock for sure!

What I cant get over though is the fact that when I am at a HOG chapter meeting, or at any group ride, when I ask other owners of late model (pre 09") baggers if they have ever felt the "problem" and 90% of them look at me like I got two heads. They have no idea what I am talking about.....even after I mention the True-Trac, and thats probably the most well known of the stabilizers....they say they never heard of it. Once in a while you will catch a guy who knows all about the whole thing.
Anyhow....its getting too late on the East Coast to be pondering this stuff. I need to hit the rack if I am going to go riding in the AM!

Perhaps I've felt the "problem". I don't know. Could you describe it better?
Thanks
