How Many Different Stabilizers Out There??
Trying to learn about the different frame stabilizers available. I know there is True-Track and Bagger Brace. But, I know there are some others. I would like to check out all of them. Thanks in advance.

Wow. Do we have a wobbly boot problem here? Progressive and Throttle Up make the cheapest ones i've seen. I like the design of the Throttle Up better than the Progressive. I have one(Throttle Up), it works and it's well made.

I just couldn't resist this post.
Save your money! It is true what others have said about the stabilizers. There is another problem with the bike when it becomes unstable at high speeds. I remember getting upset at one poster's comment that it's combination of tire pressures, shock settings or possibly fork oil.
Well, after getting a freaky wobble at 85 mph I dropped some cabbage on a Bagger Brace. Since I didn't care for the slight increase in vibes, I pulled it off. Not long after I put chrome forks on (new heavy duty fork oil) and installed a Klock Werks windshield. Now I couldn't induce a wobble if I tried.

I put a brace on but i never had a wobble problem or anything close and i ride the dog crap out of mine. The brace and the Elite 3's do help it feel more stable corning or doing some high speed lane changing. Doesn't even feel like the same bike as it did before.

Aaron: thanks! yours was the one I was trying to remember. I just read about it the other day and couldn't remember the name and the "search" failed me again.
Stevepacman: I appreciate your comment. Others have said the same thing. I am still trying to make up my own mind. I think I will do something with the forks first, then decide.
Thanks for all the responses!
Mike
