For those that haven't felt the wobble; when you do you will notice it and if you are in a good sweep it will let you know just how well your heart still works. Thump, Thump, Thump!

When finances allow I fully intend to get this baby. Until then I'll take the twisties more conservatively.
 
LMAO that actually made me laugh in a scary way, I guess my heart works good because I found that out coming back from the love ride the other sunday on the dreadfull 210 freeway with all those rain grooves in it
 
I just bolted mine on last week (Bagger-Brace) and the results are remarkable! (I tested it on 10 mile section of road with lots of 90 degree turns). Initially, I had a problem with the order, but Ron at Phoenix Customs made it right. I have not had any additional vibration issues and it really tightened up my lateral suspension flex. It took me about an hour to bolt on, while the old lady “looked” over my shoulder and gave me “guidance.” I liked it so much, I turned my buddy on to one. The Bagger-Brace, IMHO is highly recommended and best suspension buy I’ve made yet for my 08SG.
 
I hope the product works better than their commitment to shipping. I've been given 3 different dates it was "supposed to ship" and today was told that they would ship out today or tomorrow for delivery Wednesday. That will be 3 weeks. I don't mind waiting but I hate being given artificial ship dates.
 
Hmmm, you know what? I thought I was going senile today, because I knew for sure when I talked to stacey on the phone early this week she told me that she will have one black on friday, so I assumed this friday, but when I asked for a confirmation email after I placed the order I found that the date was the 14th which is next friday, I'm gonna be optimistic and hope it was just miscommunication, I'd hate to find out that I was purpusly mislead.
 
Well it is confirmed they are very flaky about delivery date, I was just given my 3rd different date on the phone, and that's not even cofirmed , it was an "I was told that they will be shipped on wednesday" well!!!! "I was told" didn't exactly sound confirming to me, I have asked her to email me a confirmation "again" on what is the final shipping date, stacey is very pleasent on the phone but she needs to get her facts straight. Annoying to say the least.
 
Mine was suppose to ship on Tuesday 2 weeks ago. Finally got it on Thursday. If you order from Stacey and she gives you a ship day, ask her like Tuesday of what week?

The ship USPS Priority Mail which is good but who knows when they will get around to shipping it. When I order on Thrusday and they tell me it won't ship out until Tuesday I naturally assume she means Tuesday of next week, NOT Tuesday of the following week
 
Yep had a couple of shipping hiccups as well. Stacey and I traded a couple of emails and she was very nice and always polite, but truth is there were a few bad dates given. I honestly believe they always meant to ship when they said but were waiting on the anodized part in my case, that didn't show up when they expected. Anyway...got mine Thursday and installed it today.

Initial impression is VERY positive! First I had it put on at the dealer while I was there getting my strut covers, rear hoop, highway pegs and breather cover from the powdercoater back. The mechanic who put it on said it was the nicest after market stabllizer he has seen yet, the fit was within exact tolerances, and that the parts were all top notch.

As many have already reported, I could actually tell the difference when I started the bike. Kind of werid actually. Quite a lot less vibration at idle, (which really never mattered to me, but still quite a lot less.) When I pulled out, the bike just felt much tighter and took bumps with more confidence. This was all just the first 1/4 mile leaving the dealer heading down a service road. It's hard to explain but everything seemed to be more buttoned up. The first significant highway exit ramp with a nice steep curve I laid into the bike and it tracked around the curve like it never has before. I also have to say the bike rode better even in a straight line, (and today was VERY windy with gusts up to 30MPH.) The one thing I was worried about, at least during this short 20 mile ride home, was increased frame vibration, and I'm pleased to say there was NO additional vibration. It did however feel like the bike was pulling ever so slightly to the right, and I mean slightly, but I'm pretty particular that way. Honestly, with the albeit, very short initial ride, I am pretty astonished at the difference. It almost felt like a my old Fatboy, without the vibration through the bars and floorboards at 75. I tend to jump on initial impressions pretty hard so I'll back off for now and if I start feeling better I'm gonna give it a work out tomorrow, but I can now see what all the chatter is about!
