Default Stabilizer?
After reading about the "wobble exposed" I'm curious how many people have installed a stabilizer on their bike? If so which company did you purchase it from and any reviews would be good.

Are you having wobble issues? If not don't even bother. It is not a problem for the vast majority of touring riders. If you are experiencing rear wheel induced wobbles and you have checked tire pressure, tire wear, wheel balance, motor mounts, rear shocks and alignment for soundness, then I can recommend a True-Track. If your front end oscillates then there is another issue that will not be solved by a frame stabilizer.

There was a great link about the swing arm bearings...easy enough fix and a lot cheaper than any of the stabilizer options, and worked.
