Just curious - has anyone here bought a stabilizer brace and NOT felt an improvement in the way their bike handled? Anyone even know someone who regrets the purchase?

Sorry, guys - I am totally happy with mine - just looking for ONE person who isn't!

 

Try take it off drive 70mph on the freeway wiggle the handle bars
Now reinstall the brace and try the same thing and come back and tell us what just happened

 

The subject of your thread implies that you purchased a stabilizer that you are not pleased with; what stabilizer did you install on your bike and did it improve how your bike handles the sweeping turns at speed?

Dude, are you selling braces? If not you love to talk about them. I looked at some of your old post and you must have had a real problem with wobble. We got it you love your Bagger Brace.

 

Nope - I'm not selling anything. I have seen several posts from skeptics and just want to know - has anyone NOT felt an improvement?

 

Had ride str8...worked well.
Put on Baker +1 pan, had to take off ride str8 and put on alloy art TXR. Works well also.

 

<Snerk> Nice cast, & you caught a couple of mullets! Like you, I'm gettin' tired of the guys that have to question *every* thread about the improvement provided by a brace. But, they aren't gonna stop. Some people won't accept any amount of experience from others & are too cheap to see for themselves.

I remember a couple of guys that weren't happy with the increased vibration from the stiffer bushing solution, but even they had to admit the bike rode better. No, we aren't going to hear from anyone that *honestly* doesn't notice an improvement from adding a brace, but we're going to keep hearing from the doubting Thomas' that need their hands held.

 

I'm thinking about one for my 08 RG as I've felt some instability at highway speeds on long sweepers. Feels like the *** end of the bike is doing something different than the front.

Remember the thread about the "best add-ons to your bike"? Tons of replies, but only a few mentioned any kind of stabilizer. How do you explain this?

 

Love mine worth every dollar spent.

 

Easy, not that many folks ride hard enough to feel a problem. And yes, there was someone a few months ago that said his new brace didn't fix his problem. He described his problem as wobbling in crosswinds and rain grooves. That is not the same wobble as the braces are designed to fix.

I just don't think that many folks feel a problem, I certainly don't and I ride plenty sporty for me. I"M SURE THERE IS A PROBLEM Teachu2, but just not enough for most riders feel and jump on the brace band wagon. I'm not throwing my money at something that I don't feel is broke. But I'm glad there is plethora of braces out there to choose from if and when I have the problem. Until then, I'm putting my money on a new rear tire.

Hey, have a great riding weekend.
