Here's some chatter on vibration... As we discussed earlier. Hope this helps.

I installed the Progressive Suspension Touring Link stabilizer I purchased on ebay for <150. Yes there is more vibration but I feel the increased stability is worth it. I read several post from others that lost control and all recommened adding a stabilizer. After installing mine I can see the advantages of the Bagger Brace over some of the other stabilizers. Some have posted no increase in vibration after installing a stabilizer but that seems quite impossible as you are making a linked metal connection from the frame to the engine defeating the rubber engine/trans mounting from the factory. In the end it depends on how much you value the increased stability over less vibration.

I have the Progressive Link, and odd as this will sound, when I first installed it, I could feel a very slight increase in vibration in the floorboards that wasn't there before....but after 2-3 short rides, it stopped....did it "settle out"....I don't know. No vibration now, and I like the added stability.

throttle up touring stabilizer.
