Ride Str8
Has anyone fitted a Ride Str8 device to there tourer. I am having trouble with a wobble and currently thinking its to do with the rear swingarm pivot/ bearings/ rubbers. I would still like the bike rectified by the dealer before fitting this brace, and then fit this to tie it together better.

I have the Alloy-Art Touring TXR. It seems to work great but I am getting more vibration from the floorboards and shifter. Only had it on for a few days so far. I have a call into the manufacturer to see what can be done.

RE: Ride Str8
Just put the RideStr8 on my 06 EGC and on the local rides it's been doing the job. The wife and I will be taking off for a trip to Oregon and will let post how it works on those remote back roads when we get back next week.

RE: Ride Str8
Added the ride str8 to my 06 SG. Also added progressive shocks and fork springs. Turnpike exit where wobble used to occur is still there but no more wobble. Bike handles soooo much better. Only problem now is I'm dragging pieces in the turns. Oh well. Would install it again if I happen to trade my bike in. Worth the bucks.
