Try one of these rear stabilizers that are fully adjustable. It made a noticeable difference on my bike. Not only do they work, they are not expensive. Alloy Art
Curious when you installed yours did you elevate the bike on a Center stand, Center stand with weight on the rear end or just install it with it on the jiffy stand?

Mine was on a J&S Jack sitting more or les level.
I did notice in the picture, that the chinezem copy looks like it puts the adjustment rod closer to the back of the frame.

It likely does. There are 2 different parts dependent on bike year. Mine is an St09 yours is I believe is an M8 model. They are slightly different due to model years. The m8 adjuster rod is slightly closer to midway of the bracket The parts for my model year seem identical.
thanks for the reply re install. I did mine on the jiffy. Should have thought better. Will recheck.
