Mine wallowed some in fast sweepers, worst if it had rain grooves, I'm not talking see your life pass before your eyes wallow if you were ready for it, but the first time it happened it got my attention very quickly seeing that there was a concrete wall to my right [:@]and the rear end all of a sudden seemed to have a mind of it's own! Oh I was going about 65 when it happened to me I started checking into causes and fixes, checked to make sure my bike wasn't at fault with a worn out part, everything looked good then I started looking at the fixes the STR8 was the one I decided I liked, but it was high! I then ran across this one which seemed like a STR8 Clone took a chance and bought it, very high quality, people were very polite and answered my many questions quickly, all in all very happy with it!

I don't use it but find accelerating through curves keeps the weight off the front end and eliminates the bat-wing wobble. Slowing down during a curve wobbles for shure.
