i made mine out of 1/4" A356 T6 alum at work. it was one of my old weld plates i didn't use for my weld test. so i polished it up and it looks pretty good. so have someone make one for you. i would make them but that shop is closed. there are others on this board that have better ideas than i do. see ya.

Yea thick brace works well ... especially under braking ... general high speed wiggle may be some else ... like tire wear or wheel bearing or some alignment between wheels etc ...
Cool.

I found mine to help for high speed braking, and cornering.

If you are getting a wobble just going straight at high speed, check fork oil, fork seals, tire pressure, swingarm bearings, wheel bearings, and neck bearings... those items could all cause a wobble.
