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.

I describe the "wobble" as a loose feeling in the rear of the bike. Like the front and rear are moving separately.
Hope this helps. Thanks for posting and asking the question.

Got over 20K with the Ridestr8. Was a couple hour install, most of that time spent on moving the exhaust out of the way and putting it back.
I have read enough posts, and talked to enough buds, that I am convinced the majority of people simply do not know that they are experiencing a mushy wallowy ride at ALL speeds.
After installing the ridestr8 the ride is much different at ALL speeds...yes, the wallow is gone in the long sweepers (I have many buds I ride with that go thru the same sweepers and do not know that their ride is not handling well...they are just used to it after years-decades of riding that way)...but it is also a much different ride at ALL speeds and situations.
Find a bike with a stabilizer on it and give it a quick ride...you will feel the difference in a couple of minutes, rather than reading all these dadgum posts about some saying this and others saying that.
I would not be without one, I am happy with the ridestr8, prolly would be happy with the others of the similar design. I would not like a tru track, don't want to lose the little clearance I have. lol
