If they were solid braces, I'd agree. I'm in no way trying to imply everyone else should get a brace, just saying that IF you have this issue, and want to fix it, then I recommend this because it works for me. Same way you might recommend some of the mods you've made to your ride - you wouldn't be trying to say that semis would be running you over without them, right? Bet you haven't cracked your frame with all that power, either!

Still waiting on an answer. I understand "wobble" has other meanings, so what is the correct term? Rear steer? Lateral Instability? Wallow? Faux Flat Fenomenon? Drivetrain-Induced Lateral Balance Misalignment?
Whatever you choose to call it - my '07 had it, it bothered me, I installed a Bagger Brace and the bike no longer exhibits that symptom.
Maybe the so-called stabilizer is really a secret Gremlin Repulsion Device - all it does is keep that gremlin from running back and forth under my bike and yanking stuff out of alignment. If you don't have a gremlin problem, you probably don't need a GRD.

Yeah this fad is right up there with all those great 07 bikes. You know the year that several thousand of us screamed bloody murder and the MotorCo claimed no problem and yet they have come out with two fixes for the problem...

I gotta say, I experienced the wobble one time doing 80 around a sweeping curve on the highway. Pa. roads are not the best. The highway has humps in the center of the lane and when I got into the dip was when I had the problem. An experienced rider will know how to stop it. Let off the throttle and the wobble went away. I would say a lot depends on the road and the speed. I ride the same highway every day to go to work and only had the problem one time.
