I put the TWR on before riding season started this year, the bike feels way more solid in twisties and long sweepers especially when the road surface is less than ideal. The installation was kind of a pain, but only because I had a hard time getting my stock cross-over pipe to move enough to get at the lower bolt under the right side passenger floorboard, it just took some time and patience to loosen things up and wiggle it around until I could get a socket on it.

None is not an option on your poll.
Everyone that has had the wobble knows what causes it. It reminds me of the old joke "Hey Doc, it hurts when I do this. Then don't do that."
I just don't see the need to spend that much money. If you have an extra $400 laying around, more power to you. It's easier and cheaper to just slow down. I commute 75 miles a day ( over 19,500 on my 08 now ) and have never experienced the wobble doing the speed limit. Only when I'm hauling *** in sweepers. I either expect it and am ready for it or just slow down. That's my personal option to a stabilizer.

Have a TWR and now have about 1000 miles with it.
The bike feels much more stable under 80 mph and in places where I used to notice the wobble or wallow I no longer do.
At 80 mph I can still get a wobble or wallow but it is much shallower so seems faster.
Just hit 10k on my bike will be interesting how it acts when it gets new tires soon.
