The Alloy Art Rear Suspension Stabilizer for 2009-and-later H-D Touring Models
Even though Harley redesigned their frame for 2009 to provide a more stable ride, many feel that the addition of a third stabilizer is still needed to prevent frame flex and rubber mounted motor oscillation.
Its top side mounting makes for easy installation by all with some basic hand tools. I used a 3/8 drive ratchet, 10 inch 3/8 extension, 7/32 inch allen socket, 1/4 inch long allen socket and 2 – 9/16 box open combination wrenches and 10 mm wrench for battery terminal.
Remove the right side saddlebag and side cover. Remove the seat.
Because of how close I would be working to the starter terminal I decided to play safe and also remove the battery ground cable.
Start by attaching the Hex Arm to the Starter Mounting Bracket.
Remove the stock starter bolts. Install starter mounting bracket using the longer bolts supplied in the kit.
Adjust the arm being sure the jam nut on the bracket side does not touch bracket. Use the bolt supplied for the right side heims joint to line up that side. Bolt should slide through joint and Hex Hole in frame with out binding.
Slide bolt through heims joint and arm spacer and then through frame hole. Install washer and 3/8 lock nut on inside of frame bracket. Make sure joint is in the center of the ball and Tighten
Tighten heim lock nuts using 2 – 9/16 wrenches.
Wipe fingerprints off parts and go for a ride.
