Can't say enough good about SuperBrace. Easy install and completely eliminated my "Wing-Wobble".

I have the Mega Monty and no wobbles here. I told the Honda service tech to take her out for a ride and put her through her paces. He said "That thing is PLANTED and soaks up the bumps!".

I was in between the Super Brace and the Monty. Read good things about both braces here. Wondering why Honda doesn't upgrade the fork support?

Honda could actually upgrade the entire suspension for minimal cost if they wanted to. I had the brace before the Mega and still had the front end wobble after I put a few thousand on the tires. I really think it is tire related along with the substandard suspension Honda puts on the bike. Just my opinion.

I bought a super brace. I like it, it did make a small difference. The real difference came with tapered head bearings! No doubt about the solution in my case!

Re: SuperBrace fixed my 35-40 mph wobble.
Honestly, I am not sure about all these fixes. I had the wobble really bad but at 54k it was time to fix my suspension. I went for an expensive fix. I did the Full Monty, which is the Traxxion AK20's on the front along with their fork brace, tapered steering head bearings and rear shock. All from Trax. I have had this setup until this year when I added the Trax triple tree. Now the ride and handling without the tree was far superior than the original OEM on my '06. But to be fair I never maintained anything on the bike for 54k. At that point the ride was so bad I was ready to trade. Much cheaper to go Trax then to trade. It was time for my fork service on the AK20's. So I decided to get the tree at the same time. I am over joyed with the bike now. It was great without the tree and felt planted. Now with the tree, it is really planted. If Honda comes out with a redesign that I like I will probably get it now that I have 93,000 on mine. But I bet I will be disappointed and have to spend to upgrade to Trax now that I know how good it is. I had the Honda service manager take the bike for a spin since I picked up a nail in my back tire. He came back and said, "Boy it is really responsive on the front end and soaks up the bumps!". Enough said, sorry I did not mean to hijack your thread but wobble is tires and suspension related.
