'Rode my Bud's '06 CUSE without / with one of the "stiffeners" 'wasn't really impressed either time. 'Was really impressed with the GlidePros on both the '05 & '09, along with improved handling, the GlidePros made both bikes much smoother in the seat, bars and fairing.
Glide Pros are about the only thing I have not tried. I do have whatever the other polymer bushings are though, and I change out the swing arm bushings about every 20K or so.
Rear steer is no where near as bad as it use to be, but I still get a good wobble once in awhile, and a death wobble at least once a year.
Thanks for the honest feedback on the Traxxion/Bitubo's, 'Was considering them on the '09 SERG, but 'am very happy with the H-D Premium stuff.
Definitely no reason to spend $2000+ if you are happy with what came on the bike. Haven't tried it, but there are less expensive alternatives for the front end then the $1300 traxxion.
I'm done trying to make the bike ride better or be more comfortable with the exception of "maybe" trying a Mustang seat.
Just can't see dumping anymore money into it.
And thanks to our pols, my take home income has been a steady decline for the last 3-4 years, so a new bike is out of the question (which is why I refuse to ride anything newer then an 08)
