Seahag, whip me up one of those brackets. I'll pay you for it. Both products do seem a bit overpriced but if they work, they are worth every penny. My Ultra does the wallow in sweepers. Seems any time you put speed together with a turn, the bike has a tendency to wallow. I will definitely be adding one of the 2 products this winter unless someone comes out with a lower cost alternative. hint hint. The first few times the bike wallowed I definitely got a bit nervous. Now I am used to it and you can anticipate it but I would still like to get rid of it completely.

Notice I said I
was a CNC machinest in a former job....Unfortunately I don't have access to the equipment anymore. I think I'll pull the axle adjusters this winter and take some measurements; then see if I can't commision making a set for less money than what Ridestr8 is charging. Like I said they are simply made out of round stock. Just turn the shaft down and thread it, then mill the flats and drill a hole. If done with a manual machine it would probably take enough time to warrant their price, but with a CNC setup, its probably ten minutes work. Machine setup and programming probably another 30-40 minutes.
P.S....I wonder if its not the tour pack with the higher center of gravity that is making other bikes wallow. The only time I ever recall having a shimmy in the back end was when I was running too low a pressure in my shocks
