I'll refer you to this long thread where users of all the flavors of stabilizers convey with valuable info on just about all the stabilizer options available. Personal experiences included.

Here is the thread:

https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touring-models/268326-rear-stabilizers-requesting-input.html

I have confidence that you'll find what you need in there. Most transparent and all inclusive if you ask me.

I have the Bagger Brace and will answer anything specific regarding this option if you need.

I almost didn't reply to this as I'm as burned out as most discussing these. Do a search for stabilizer or any of the brand names and you'll find enough reading to keep you busy for hours.

I'm sure they all work well.

I have a bagger brace on order. Excellent customer service.

Thanks to UltraKla$$ic there is a black version. I had the original silver in hand and exchanged it for black. Real nice piece.

I just installed the bagger brace. It was simple to do even without a lift. The price was good and so was the customer service. I bought this brand aftewr reading how others liked it and for the fact that it is made 100 miles up the road from me. If i ever need anything it is easier for me. Good luck in your search.

I have a pro-glide,
I can tell you this, it works.
the up side is that it is invisible and is not an extra piece of hardware.
downside is that it increases vibration.

The nice thing is the guy that sells them stands behind them with a satisfaction guarantee.
call him and see what you think.

Good luck!

Ditto on the stabilizer burn out. Many threads on the subject. I have the BB and love it. Service was great and it performs as expected. Easiest install, looks good, great quality, least expensive. Need more?

Default Accu-Track

This is where I got Accu-Track;

FNA Cycle
455 South D Street #9
San Bernadino, CA 92401
(909) 386-7366

The website I had for them does not work now. Maybe give them a call.
I recall I spoke to Clark. I had their business card but I seem to have misplaced it.

I just recently put on a Bagger Brace. Only reason I chose that one was because it was the cheapest one and the one that looked easiest to install....and it was.

It cured my wobble issue. I ride VERY aggressive...last bike was Big Dog Pitbull, rigid with a 107 S&S that hauled ***. There was NO wobble on a 250 rigid. The first time I got on the highway with my Roadglide I felt the back shake...not bad, but it was a very different ride, felt unstable - not what I was used to at all. Every time I changed lanes and hit a reflector on the lanes it would wobble VERY bad.

So I got the brace, took me about 30 minutes to install and tested it out this weekend. I'd say 95% of the wobble is gone. I can only feel it at extreme speeds. I changed lanes at 80 and 90 mph and ZERO wobble when I'd hit a reflector. At 100mph it shook a little but still less than at 75 without a brace. Bottom line is I don't plan on riding at 100 much so at 80-90mph on the high way it feels like I'm riding a different bike.

Its well worth the 289.00 and the best mod I've done to bike so far
