Every once in awhile into a turn I get that little rear end slip that just wakes you right up kinda thing. I had one on my 03 and it worked pretty well. Just wondering if anyone tried it on a 09.

I would think rear end slip would be a traction issue rather than a chassis issue...Monitor your tire pressure...I have found that tire pressure is one of the most neglected maintenance on most peoples bikes.

My understanding is that with the NEW frame you don't need any type of stablizer on the chassis...I agree with Geezer Glide, check your AIR PRESSURE!
