You just didn't notice the wobble because you were so worried about all that money you left behind in your wallet! 
I must have the only '06 EGC that doesn't have a wobble. The first morning of my 7 day vacation of the Canadian maritimes had me starting out at 5:30 am, 2 up fully loaded and leaving in a down pour. I had a ferry to catch by 8 am. 25 miles out I realized I forgot my wallet. I turned around and went back for it. 75 plus mph and I couldn't see the highway for the downpour. Back on the road, I out ran the rain line. Now pushing 85-90 mph fully loaded 2 up rolling along very smoothly. No wobble, no nothing. She handled like a dream and for the remaining days of my vacation, not a single handling problem. I must be one of the lucky few.

I think the purpose of the post is not to tell people they dont need a brace, its to calm the hysteria of people reading these posts who think their bagger is out to kill them.

I've had the "wobble" happen many times when riding hard........and if a Bagger Brace can fix this, I'll take it.

Well said, PITA. I've only heard it called life-threatening by those who have experienced unscheduled lane changes, but for me it was just uncomfortable.
What is the term for when it feels like the rear tire is going flat in a corner? Same sensation at when a heavy load shifts in a pickup when cornering, or driving a half-loaded water truck? That's what I called "wallow" and one of the sensations commonly referred to as "wobble". What is the correct term?

I agree about it not being a "wobble" that would be in the bars. My 01 had the feeling like it was "hinged" in the middle and was worse loaded and 2up. I have 3 buddies with 07 or 08 SGs and they have to push hard through the twisties to feel anything unusual. I know they changed the swingarm and bushings in 02 and that may help to stiffen the swingarm.
