    I just cannot believe that in 50 years of riding, you have never took your hands off of the handlebars at least once.
    Nope never!!!....Had a close friend years ago that got killed doing this to be "silly", let go the bars to show off and he lost control of the bike as the front end started to wobble and down he went at over 40mph...He also was not wearing a helmet....May sound unusual to some, but I see no need to take my hands away from the bars while moving....Granted I may have loosened my hold on the grips a little at times, but always kept a least one hand on the bars.....Regards and ride safe

    taking my hands off the bars to test for wobble is a more accurate statement.

    In any event - when I ride my F6B it is to relax and have fun. I race off-road - not a place to play around.

    this type of riding requires a lot more focus and use of levers, timing, and maneuvering through trees at 30mph that in some cases are 36" apart at best.

    Good to hear another happy Superbrace review.Have had mine on my 13 F6B for two years and it is one of the best bang for the buck items for this bike IMHO.Really gives the front end a tighter feel in high speed sweepers.Never had the front end wobble some others like you have experienced and I have ridden at hwy speeds with my hands off the bars and she is rock solid.The one other thing that made a big difference was running 40psi in the front tire-I know some feel it gives a harsher ride but it helped handling for me and much better tire wear.
