Allot Art Frame Stabilizer

Alloy Art | Stabilizer For 2009-Later Harley-Davidson

Touring Bikes

While the newly redesigned '09-later H-D Touring frames are noticeably stiffer and

stable than the previous iterations the inherent movement of the rubber-mounted

motor may adversely affect the motorcycle's handling. At the rear of the

motorcycle the engine/transmission assembly is mounted through the swingarm

and isolated with rubber to reduce vibration. The system works remarkably well

but instability can arise under poor road conditions, an overloaded bike, excessive

speed, or a combination of these factors. Some call it wobble or even the baggerboogie-

we call it scary.

There are a number of stabilizer systems that were employed on older Twin Cam

bikes that triangulated the transmission, oil pan, and the frame to try and tame

any erratic handling. When H-D redesigned the frame with the exhaust crossover

going under the bike, the older-style stabilizers wouldn't fit.

We heard about a new relatively inexpensive stabilizer from Alloy Art that mounts above rather than below the transmission on late model Touring bikes. The

stabilizer adds another anchor point to limit the movement of the motor/trans in relation to the swingarm. After the 30-minute install was completed we took

the '09 Electra Glide out for a spin and noticed that the bike handled the big, expansion joint bumps better than before. We didn't notice any ill effects from

the stabilizer or an increase in vibration. It's pretty cheap insurance to keep your heavyweight bike behaved.
